Yıllar Sonra Tesadüfen Karşılaşılan İntrakraniyal Bir Yabancı Cisim

Kafa içi penetran yabancı cisimler, nöroşirürji pratiğinde en nadir karşılaşılan durumlardan biridir. Nadir olmalarına rağmen, kafa içi yabancı cisimler potansiyel olarak ölümcül antitelerdir. Beyindeki dikiş iğneleri daha sıra dışı yabancı cisimler arasındadır. Bu yazıda kafatasında tesadüfen dikiş iğnesi saptanan bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Hiçbir klinik semptom veya giriş alanında enflamatuvar bulgu yoktu ve giriş deliğine ait bir belirti yoktu. Bu hastayı bu tür olguların yönetimini vurgulamak, daha iyi sonuçlar elde etmek ve kısa veya uzun vadeli komplikasyonları en aza indirmek amacıyla dokümante ediyoruz.

An Intracranial Foreign Body That Encountered Incidentally After Years

Intracranial penetrating foreign bodies are one of the most rarely encountered situations in neurosurgery practice. Although they are uncommon, intracranial foreign bodies are potentially fatal entities. Sewing needles in the brain are among the more unusual foreign bodies. In this article, we presented a case with a sewing needle in the cranium that was detected incidentally. There were no clinical symptoms or inflammatory findings in the insertion area and no external sign of the puncture. We document this patient to highlight the management of such cases with the goal to improve outcome and minimize short and long term complications.
