Abstract

We are reporting two rare cases of multiple penetrating brain injuries by an indigenously made traditional fishing gear used in an Indian village. Although penetrating injury from varied objects (viz., arrow, smear gun, knife, rod, bullets, etc.) have been reported earlier in the literature, but low-velocity penetrating brain injury by multiple objects is the first to our knowledge. In this report, we discuss the surgical management and outcome with relevant review of literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
