Core Tip
Core Tip: Penetrating maxillofacial trauma is a rare, life-threatening pathology. Managing injuries caused by arrows is challenging because their removal can cause greater damage; therefore, the approach and treatment must be multidisciplinary. We present a pediatric patient who suffered a penetrating arrow injury of the frontal region without affecting vital structures and with successful removal.
