Resumen

Las heridas penetrantes intracraneales son muy infrecuentes y aún resultan más infrecuentes las causadas por múltiples objetos y de forma intencional. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 45 años que es traído a urgencias tras haberse disparado cuatro clavos a nivel del cráneo y uno a nivel del tórax con una pistola de clavos. Revisamos la literatura al respecto y describimos cómo fue manejado el caso en nuestro centro con buen resultado funcional.

Palabras clave:
Herida penetrante intracraneal
