The incidence of a penetrating brain injury due to a pressure cooker blast is quite rare. We are presenting this case of a 24-year-old female who sustained anterior skull base injury, with the nozzle of the pressure cooker penetrating through left orbit on account of the blast. A combined multidisciplinary approach was utilized and the patient recovered uneventfully.
