Abstract
The risk of severe head injury during a seizure is usually small. Penetrating bony injuries to the skull caused by a fall on a sharp object during a seizure account for less than 3% of all ictal head injuries.

We report on a case of transnasal penetrating injury extending to the skull base and its treatment in a patient who fell on a toilet paper holder.
