title: Management of Perforator Plunge in the Transverse Sinus.
abstract: Plunging is rare with the use of automatic-release perforators. We describe the management of a case of plunging in the transverse sinus in a child who underwent suboccipital craniotomy. The perforator got stuck in the bone and transverse sinus. The perforator-bone complex was removed in one piece with suturing of the transverse sinus.
