Abstract
Penetrating injuries to the spine are important causes of spinal cord traumatism. There are two varieties: gunshot or stab wounds. Within the second category, sharp knifelike objects and, rarely, glass are found. This article presents a case of penetrating glass injury to the lumbar spine in an 18-year-old girl, with the migration of pieces of glass within muscles and spinous process until reaching the dural sac.
