Abstract
- Penetrating trauma in a fetus is uncommon but may cause potentially life-threatening injuries. We experienced a case of preterm infant who delivered by C-section and showed two deep laceration wounds on face, facial nerve palsy, skull fracture and intracranial hemorrhage due to penetrating injury of an abdominal stab wound in a 31 weeks pregnant woman.
