Transorbital Craniocerebral Penetration by a Sharp Object with an Intact Globe

الملخص EN

Traumatic eye injuries are common in children and are mostly superficial.

Vigilance must always be practiced when examining these children to avoid missing any hidden serious injuries that may result in devastating complications.

We describe the acute and definitive management of a child treated 17 h after transorbital craniocerebral penetration by a sharp object.

Despite the rarity of these types of injury, a good outcome can be achieved if they are promptly recognized and managed.
