Cranio-brain injury is defined as an open cranial trauma resulting in a dural breach and putting the subarachnoid spaces in direct communication with the external environment. This is a 2-year-old girl with no particular history who was admitted for a scalp wound and weakness of the right hemi body following a domestic accident that had been evolving for 2 days. A clinical and radiological examination revealed a left parietal cranio-encephalic nail wound. She was taken to the operating room for nail extraction and duralplasty. The postoperative course was good. A probabilistic dual-antibiotic prophylaxis allowed us to avoid infectious complications. Cranio-encephalic wounds are rare. Those spawned by a nail are even rarer. Their treatment is both medical and surgical. They are often serious because of their vascular and infectious complications.
