Abstract:
Penetrating craniofacial trauma in pediatric age group is quite rare. A case is reported that presented with a pencil penetration injury entering from the anterior maxillary sinus through the orbital medial wall, and ethmoidal cells and septum, reaching the contralateral gyrus rectus of the frontal lobe. All the vital structures were preserved. The patient was first treated with manual extraction of the pencil, without any immediate complications; however, rhinorrhea followed the procedure 4 h later. Early endoscopic surgical intervention was performed and the rhinorrhea was successfully treated in this case. This report discusses radiological and surgical characteristics of this unusual penetrating craniofacial trauma.

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds...
