Penetration injury of the pyramis caused by a kick from a racehorse

Y Ogawa et al. Neurosurg Rev. 1994.

Abstract

A 56-year-old man presented with an unusual cranial penetration injury due to a horse's hoof. The CT number of the hoof was 269, and thus clearly not that of a wooden fragment or bone. An emergency operation was performed to remove the foreign body. The operation went well, and no infection developed. Eight months later he could walk unaided and had only mild disorientation.
