The advancements in technology have made the use of three-dimensional printed model reconstruction neurosurgery receive special attention due to its role process decision-making and pre-operative planning. Penetrating brain injuries (PBI) a high risk damage complex intracranial neurovascular structures. Due difficulty, 3D-printed could help neurosurgeons decision making PBI surgery strategy. authors reported an 18-year-old male carpenter who was referred hospital wooden PBI. We performed computed tomography (CT) scan, CT angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance venography (MRV) (MRA). then segmentations integrations digital imaging communications medicine (DICOM) data. used for 3D printing, foreign object extraction simulation There were no intra- post-operative complications after craniotomy body procedure. This method beneficial since it enhances anatomical visualization location trajectory body. Moreover, allows more direct realistic
