Abstract
Case Report:
We report a patient who, while in a drunken state, sustained a cerebral hemorrhage associated with an apparently trivial eyelid injury after an aggressive attack with a metallic object.
Discussion:
Any apparently trivial eyelid injury may be associated with serious cerebral lesions. Making a correct diagnosis that distinguishes between that of drunkenness and an organic injury is essential, because failure to do so may result in both clinical and legal repercussions.
