Head Trauma using A Bladed Weapon
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery and Research (IJSR) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Head trauma by a bladed weapon is an uncommon attack on the skull and its contents. Despite its rarity, it can have serious consequences for the victim. It sometimes follows a fight in cases of rape or aggression under the effect of narcotics. The authors report the case of a traumatic brain injury with a knife that occurred in a 40-year-old man in a context of acute alcoholism.
