Silent orbitocranial penetration by a pencil.
OBJECTIVE To emphasise the value of computed tomography even in the absence of symptoms in a case of penetrating injury of the upper eyelid. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Although clinically asymptomatic, penetration of upper eyelid was associated with intracranial penetration that left a track in the brain parenchyma. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography of orbit and brain is an important inve...
متن کاملA penetrating orbitocranial stab wound.
An unusual case of intracranial penetration of a bread knife through the orbit is described. Despite the proximity of the blade to the internal carotids, the optic nerves and chiasm, and the pituitary the patient survived with only a minimal field defect affecting the eye opposite to the entry site; otherwise no neurological or endocrine deficit was evident.
متن کاملNanotechnology in Wood-based Composite Panels
Wood is a naturally renewable material with both continuous and isolated pore systems. Wood-composite panels have the privilege of offering a homogeneous structure to be used as constructional and structural materials. However, its nature makes it susceptible to biological wood-deteriorating agents, water absorption and thickness swelling, fire, etc. Using nano-materials are very easy in the wo...

متن کاملManagement of infections complicating the orbitocranial approaches: Report of two cases and review of literature
BACKGROUND The orbitocranial approaches are now indispensible for treating lesions of the skull base, providing access to lesions in the anterior and middle cranial fossae, as well as the upper clivus and anterior brainstem. The management of infectious complications of the orbitocranial approaches, however, has evaded the literature. CASE DESCRIPTION We present two cases of patients who unde...
