Abstract:Highlights
Perineal impalement injuries are often fatal.
We report a perineal impalement injury by an iron rod piercing the perineum with minimal external and internal injuries.
Urgent laparotomy to manage all the potential injuries along with effective resuscitation and prehospital care are critical.
