Abstract

A 7-year-old boy was playfully revolving a partly insulated electric wire which accidentally struck a bamboo pole in its path. He soon found that his left nostril was hit and blood trickled from the site. Unsuspected on investigation, a small fragment of the wire was found within the brain. The sequence of events is reported.
