Traumatic Ruptured Globe From a .22 Cartridge Casing in a 2-Year-Old Girl
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
|November 21, 2017
Abstract:
The authors report the case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with an acute ruptured globe secondary to penetration by the casing of a .22 caliber cartridge that was ignited by a car cigarette lighter. Although penetrating injuries are a common mechanism of ocular trauma, open globe induced by cartridge casing represents an unusual and preventable cause.
