Article Synopsis
- Air guns, especially BB guns, have become much more powerful, leading to a spike in injuries among children; over 145,000 cases were reported between 2001 and 2011 in the U.S.
- The study focuses on a surgical technique to treat maxillofacial injuries in kids caused by BB guns.
- A specific case is outlined where a 13-year-old had a BB gun injury, and the goal was to effectively retrieve the projectile and restore nasal function using a minimally invasive endoscopic method.

Transorbital orbitocranial penetrating injuries (TOPIs) are relatively rare, can be caused by high-speed projectile foreign bodies to low-energy trauma (which is rarer), and account for 24% of penetrating head injuries in adults and approximately 45% in children. We report an uncommon nonfatal case of TOPI where a 16-year-old male child sustained injury due to accidental penetration of metal bar into the forehead. A bicoronal flap was raised to remove the metal bar.

Objectives Intracranial penetration by foreign bodies entering via the orbit represent an unusual form of traumatic brain injury. Nevertheless, much is at stake with high risk for cranial nerve and neurovascular injury. We present a case where the bristled end of a toothbrush entered the brain as a projectile via the superior orbital fissure and discuss considerations for surgical management.
