Objective: To describe a quite rare case of penetrating skull injury (PSI) in a 5-year-old girl caused by a pair of scissors as a neurosurgical emergency. Methods: A craniectomy debridement with a supine position was performed and removal of the object was achieved. Intraoperatively, bleeding was able to be controlled as expected. Results: The patient was operated and hospitalized. Physical examination revealed neurologically intact before and after the removal of the object. The patient was sent home without any neurological deficits or other complications. Conclusions: Penetrating skull injuries were interesting due to its mechanism, management and complications.
