Abstract:
Penetrating chest wounds is less common but more deadly
then blunt trauma. Majority of penetrating chest trauma can
be managed conservatively with observation and simple
thoracotomy. This case report highlights a bizarre
occupational hazard causing a penetrating chest injury and
the option of non-invasive management with the aid of
computed tomography with 3D reconstruction.
