    Author: Agrawal A, Pratap A, Agrawal CS, Kumar A, Rupakheti S.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2007; 43(6):498-500. PubMed ID: 17992039.
    Abstract:
    Transorbital orbitocranial penetrating injuries (TOPI) are relatively rare and can be caused by a variety of unusual objects. Diagnosis of TOPI should be based on a detailed history and evaluation of available investigations as the penetrating injury may be overlooked. In the present case, a child sustained a penetrating injury with the brake handle of a bicycle due to the accidental fall of the bicycle on him and was managed conservatively.
