  • Title: Computed tomography in penetrating cranial injury by a wooden foreign body.
    Author: Jooma R, Bradshaw JR, Coakham HB.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1984 Mar; 21(3):236-8. PubMed ID: 6695317.
    Abstract:
    We present a case in which the skull and brain were pierced by a piece of wood, the low attenuation value of which, in a CT scan, simulated an intracerebral pneumatocoele. The risk of misinterpreting the CT appearance of intracranial wood is discussed, and the importance of thorough exploration of a penetrating cranial injury is stressed.
