This case report describes a patient who had a foreign body in transverse sinus. A 35-year-old Korean-Chinese man visited the emergency room with lacerated wound in left eyelid and a foreign body which was stumbled upon in the skull. On examination, there was right side hemianopsia in his left eye. He did not complain any headache or show any abnormal neurological signs, but there was a foreign body at left transverse sinus in computed tomography which was taken at another hospital. There was no intracranial abnormality except the foreign body in computed tomography. Because of the financial problem, additional evaluations were not possible. We herein report a strange case in which the pathway of a foreign body to locate in transverse sinus was ambiguous, and suggest that the foreign body located in transverse sinus might have been the penetrated along the anterior fontanelle and passed through the superior sagittal sinus.
本病例报告描述了一名横窦内有异物的患者。一名35岁的韩裔中国男性因左眼睑裂伤和颅骨内发现的异物前往急诊室。检查时，他左眼有右侧偏盲。他没有抱怨任何头痛，也没有表现出任何异常的神经体征，但在另一家医院进行的计算机断层扫描显示左横窦有异物。计算机断层扫描除异物外未发现颅内异常。由于经济问题，无法进行进一步评估。我们在此报告一例异物进入横窦的途径不明的奇怪病例，并推测位于横窦的异物可能是沿前囟穿入并穿过上矢状窦的。
