Operative management of a nail wound projectile to the skull base with unusual trajectory: illustrative case
Penetrating orbital wounds can obscure life-threatening intracranial trauma and may present with different trajectories involving multiple craniofacial compartments. Thin-cut CT imaging and early cerebral angiography are essential for diagnosis, and multidisciplinary planning is critical for safe and effective intervention for FB removal and reconstruction. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25577.
