Penetrating head injury from nailguns: A case series from New Zealand
چکیده انگلیسی

Penetrating head injury from nailguns has become increasingly recognised due to their frequent use in the construction industry and home. We report a New Zealand case series of 12 penetrating nailgun head injuries, the largest of its type, detailing presentation, management, risk factors and outcomes. Recommendations based on these factors are provided, suggesting a minimal surgical approach and an individually case-assessed need for antibiotic prophylaxis and anti-epileptic drugs. Prognostic factors on initial imaging are discussed. The majority of injuries, despite being visually impressive, are associated with minimal neurological impairment.
