Abstract

Background: To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of penetrating orbitocranial injury (POCI) caused by a shoji frame. Case Description: A 68-year-old man fell in his living room and was stuck headfirst by a shoji frame. At presentation, marked swelling was noted in the right upper eyelid, with the edge of the broken shoji frame exposed superficially. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hypodense linear structure located in the upper lateral sector of the orbit, partially protruding into the middle cranial fossa. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed intact ophthalmic artery and superior ophthalmic vein. The patient was managed with frontotemporal craniotomy. The shoji frame was extracted by pushing out the extradurally located proximal edge from the cranial cavity and simultaneously pulling the distal edge from the stab wound in the upper eyelid. Postoperatively, the patient received intravenous antibiotic therapy for 18 days. Conclusion: POCI can be caused by shoji frames as a result of an indoor accident. The broken shoji frame is evidently delineated on CT, which can result in prompt extraction.
