Abstract:
Although air bags have reduced the incidence of fatal and severe injuries in automobile collisions, they have been shown to carry a risk of injury themselves. Ocular injury in particular can often be a direct consequence of air bag deployment. We report a 14-year-old child who sustained facial burn and bilateral ocular injuries affecting both the anterior and posterior segments due to an inflated air bag in a low speed motor vehicle accident.
