In paediatric practice, head injury is a major public health hazard that places considerable demand on health services. It accounts for almost one third of all accidental deaths and for up to two thirds of all trauma deaths in hospital. Common house-hold objects are at times a source of penetrating head injuries in children. These include electric plugs, golf clubs, toys, nails, etc. Fortunately less than 10% of these eventually lead to permanent brain injury. We report a rare case of penetrating head injury caused by a dart.
在儿科临床中，头部损伤是一项重大的公共卫生危害，对医疗服务造成了相当大的需求。它占所有意外死亡的近三分之一，在医院所有创伤死亡中占比高达三分之二。常见的家用物品有时是儿童穿透性头部损伤的来源。这些物品包括电插头、高尔夫球杆、玩具、钉子等。幸运的是，其中不到10%最终会导致永久性脑损伤。我们报告一例由飞镖导致的罕见穿透性头部损伤病例。
