A 48-year-old man died from a transnasal intracranial stab wound caused by an umbrella. The track of the stab passed from the right nostril, through the sphenoid sinus, the left side of the sella turcica and anterior clinoid process, and finally reached the surface of the brain. The stab wound crossed the left internal carotid artery, causing an exsanguination and aspiration of blood into the airway, resulting in death. It is extremely rare that an umbrella tip used during a struggle would stab the nostril of the victim. Transnasal intracranial stab wounds can be overlooked and require sensitive handling.
一名 48 岁男子因被伞刺穿鼻腔而颅内，经抢救无效死亡。凶器由右侧鼻腔进入，穿过蝶窦，穿透鞍旁左侧的蝶骨体和前床突，最后到达颅表面。凶器刺穿了左侧颈内动脉，导致大量失血并将血液吸入气道，最终致人死亡。在争斗中，伞尖刺中受害者鼻腔的情况极其罕见。经鼻腔进入颅内的刺伤很容易被忽视，需要谨慎处理。
