摘要：

Though foreign bodies of ear are quite commonly encountered in our day-to-day practice, self-inflicted penetrating injury of ear is not common. One such case of selfinflicted penetrating injury of ear with giant sized nail is presented here. In this patient the nail had traversed the whole thickness of skull and the pointed end of the nail could be traced at opposite temporal area. Extraction of the nail was posed with great difficulties as it was deeply impacted inside the dense bone of skull base. Miraculously, post-operative morbidity was very minimal in this case both in terms of intracranial tissue damage and hearing impairment. © 2012 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
