Six nails in the head: multiple pneumatic nail gun head injury

Abstract

A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after attempting to commit suicide with a pneumatic nail gun. Six nails were launched. Because the nail head acted as a brake, the launched nail could make a hole in the skull but could not entirely pass it.

Key words:

• Head injury
• nail gun
• nail head
