Penetrating facial injuries may cause intracranial damage
2021, Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case ReportsA fully retained knife blade within the face - An unusual sight
2019, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery CasesCitation Excerpt :Maxillofacial trauma can result in profuse bleeding and airway compromise, major vessels at risk are best visualised with a CTA [5,6]. Even if there is no active bleeding, trauma to vessels can result in pseudoaneurysms therefore CTA allows the clinician to pre empt vessel rupture prior to retrieval of the blade [7]. Retrieval with vascular surgery or interventional radiology may be indicated in a high risk case.
Multidisciplinary surgical management of an unusual penetrating foreign body of the face

2018, European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Other lesions could have been potentially associated with this type of injury: Eustachian tube injury during passage of the foreign body in the nasopharynx, resulting in tubal dysfunction, or incarceration of the orbital floor, which would have required urgent reduction of the fracture. The main postoperative complications reported in the literature are infections due to the prolonged presence of the foreign body, bleeding, neuralgia, dental occlusion disorders or visual disorders [8], which is why these patients require regular and rigorous postoperative follow-up to prevent the development of such complications, and to ensure rapid management when they occur. In the present case, rapid multidisciplinary surgical operation and postoperative antibiotic therapy limited the risk of bleeding and infection.
