An open head brain injury, or penetrating head injury, is an occurrence where a foreign object breaks through the skull and punctures the brain. This serious type of head injury exposes the brain to unsanitary conditions, such as bacteria and infections. In cases of open head brain injury the functions that are controlled by the section of the brain that is pierced are typically impaired. An open head injury may be caused by gun violence, a violent physical attack, auto accidents, objects piercing the head, or other serious accidents.

Open head injuries need to be treated immediately by a physician so that the patient's condition can be assessed, and to prevent further injury or illness that may result from the brain injury. Surgery and other medical procedures are typically necessary to repair the brain and skull and reduce the amount of fluid that may have seeped out of the brain and surrounding area.
