摘要
In this article, a 9-year-old male patient with a Compound depressed skull fracture overlying the Superior sagittal sinus and an intracranial stone foreign body is presented. A cerebral penetrating injury caused by a stone is rare. The computed tomography images obtained at standard window widths and window density levels may not reveal a retained stone, which has a chemical structure similar to bone and may not show any artifacts in the computed tomography scans.
