    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Care
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Intracranial foreign bodies pose significant neurosurgical challenges.
    • Orbital trajectory injuries require meticulous surgical planning.

    Observation:

    • An 18-year-old male presented with a 13 cm intracranial arrow-head lodged via the right orbit.
    • The patient was fully conscious upon admission, indicating preserved neurological function.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical removal of the intracranial arrow-head was achieved via occipital craniectomy.
    • The procedure was performed without significant intraoperative hemorrhage.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for successful outcomes in severe penetrating head trauma.
  • Prompt surgical intervention and neurocritical care can lead to significant neurological recovery.
