Abstract:
A blow-in fracture is a less common consequence of orbital trauma. Fragments of orbital bone may increase the orbital pressure, causing direct or indirect damage to the globe. This paper describes a blow-in fracture where a bone fragment perforated the globe causing globe disorganization and necessitating enucleation.
