Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injuries: Imaging Classification by Zones and Association with Mortality

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Penetrating traumatic brain injury (PTBI) is a serious medical condition characterized by high mortality and multiple complications.It may result from either high-or low-velocity objects, such as sharp weapons or projectiles.The latter often cause particularly complex and devastating damage due to tissue disruption, skull fractures, intracranial hemorrhages, and vascular injuries.These characteristics require prompt and specialized care to minimize the risk of poor outcomes.
