Abstract
- Penetrating brain stem injury is rare, and complete recovery is seldom expected. This case report presents exceptional cases of penetrating brain stem injury with a metal chopstick. The patients were a three-year-old boy and a 60-year-old man, and both patients made a complete recovery after surgical removal of the chopstick.
