An explosion launched a five foot long piece of rebar, that struck the child in the head, it penetrated the brain coming from a right lateral direction, narrowly missed the right orbit, and came to rest as shown in this x-ray, made on arrival at the hospital, just above the right orbit, with its tip inside the brain as shown.
