Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Intracranial foreign bodies present a significant neurosurgical challenge.
  • Seizures are a common symptom of penetrating brain injuries.

Observation:

  • A 9-year-old male presented with seizures.
  • Radiological imaging revealed a 5-cm metallic sewing needle traversing the right frontal cortex to the right lateral ventricle.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic-assisted burr hole surgery successfully removed the intracranial sewing needle.
  • The metallic foreign body was grasped using biopsy forceps.

Implications:

  • Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are effective for removing intracranial foreign bodies.
  • Prompt surgical intervention can lead to favorable outcomes in pediatric neurosurgical cases involving foreign bodies.
