[Craniocerebral injury with foreign body penetration complicated with rhinorrhea, intracranial pneumatocele and early epilepsy].

The presented patient was injured while repairing a car. When the motor was running a metal blade of the fan broke off and struck him on the right side of his forehead. The blade sticking in the bone was removed surgically, and after 17 days he was discharged home without neurological deficit. After 60 days paresis of the left upper extremity and rhinorrhoea developed, and the patient had a second operation. Four months after the injury the first seizure appeared, provoked by discontinuation of anticonvulsants.
