Abstract: Eyelid or periocular wounds may be the only initial sign of occult, penetrating intracranial trauma. As in this case, the failure to recognize the injury may contribute to serious and potentially life-threatening complications. The discussion emphasizes that a high degree of suspicion and knowledge of patterns of occult penetrating orbito-cranial injury may help direct appropriate radiological imaging and lead to earlier, accurate diagnosis.
Keywords: Intracrancial penetration, transorbital, orbito-cranial
