Penetrating Cranial Trauma Following an Assault by Knife

Abstract

Hassan II university hospital, for a cranial trauma following an assault by knife. The clinical assessment of the patient at his admission showed a conscious patient with a Glasgow score of 15, with no sensitive or motor deficit, hemodynamically stable with a normal respiratory function. The examination of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves showed a bilateral blindness with an amaurotic mydriasis. The local physical exam found a knife lodged in the right side of the occipital region (Figure 1-3).
