Penetrating head injuries caused by unconventional objects such as a nail generate speculation and doubt regarding the manner of infliction. We report a case of a 24-year-old woman alleged to have committed suicide by a fall from height. Autopsy revealed an unprecedented penetrating intracranial injury caused by a nail over the right temporal region, confounding the manner of death. The underlying intersecting pattern of fractures determined the chronological sequence of events. In this paper, we discuss the manner, incidence and pathology of nail injuries to the brain.
由钉子等非常规物体导致的穿透性头部损伤引发了关于损伤方式的猜测和怀疑。我们报告一例24岁女性案例，据称该女性从高处坠落自杀。尸检发现右颞区有一枚钉子造成了前所未有的颅内穿透性损伤，这使得死亡方式扑朔迷离。潜在的交叉骨折模式确定了事件的时间顺序。在本文中，我们讨论了钉子致脑损伤的方式、发生率及病理情况。
