Placing of sewing needles in the brain through the anterior fontanel is a rare entity. There are very few cases reported in literature. Most of them were asymptomatic, but some of them presented with seizure. We report here a 14-year-old boy, who was admitted to the Pediatric Neurology Department with a history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures due to sewing needle located in the frontal lobe
