| description | Penetrating injury to the head is considered a form of severe
traumatic brain injury. Although uncommon, most
neurosurgical centres would have experienced treating
patients with such an injury. Despite the presence of well

in two main Neurosurgical centres within Malaysia and the
unique management approaches for each of these cases. |
