Abstract EN
Transorbital intracranial penetrating injury is an uncommon mechanism of head injury.
These injuries can be occult during the initial clinical presentation.
Certain patients develop an intracranial cerebral infection.
Herein, we report a 5-year-old child with an occult transorbital intracranial penetrating injury caused by a pen.
A retained pen tip was found at the superior orbital roof and was not noticed at initial presentation.
This was complicated by a right frontal lobe cerebral abscess.
This paper emphasizes the importance of orbitocranial imaging in any penetrating orbital injury.
A review of the literature on intracranial infection locations in relation to the route and mechanism of injury is included to complement this report.
