| Popis: | Cranio-orbital trauma is an uncommon yet devastating injury, especially one in the setting of a high-energy gunshot wound. Such injuries were historically reported in the setting of military conflict, and are associated with vision-threatening complications, often resulting in anophthalmos. The authors report a case of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the eye, which requires orbital enucleation with exposed frontal lobe dura. To address the exposed dura, the extraocular muscles were utilized from the enucleation procedure to cover the defect in the acute setting prior to final staged reconstruction. |
