IntroductionTransorbital Penetrating Intracranial Injury (TOPI) is one of the rare cases of traumatic brain injury. The major cause of TOPI is the missiles such as bullets in the war. Non-missile foreign bodies such as iron rods, wood, nails, and needles are even more rare. 1-3Penetrating Brain Injuries are associated with high mortality and morbidity due to damage to important structures such as major vessels, and brainstem, as well as risk of infection. Vascular injury or injury to the brainstem might be fatal. The risk of infection is increased in the case of a wooden foreign body, although infection almost always occurs in delayed treatment. However, early treatment with surgical and nonsurgical approaches can reduce chances of infection and hemorrhage, therefore morbidity and mortality significantly. 3Here we present a unique case of transorbital penetrating intracranial injury caused by a wooden foreign body. Despite the complexity of such injury, our case demonstrated a successful clinical outcome with no long-term morbidity or mortality. This case report was prepared in line with SCARE guidelines. 4
