Abstract

Report on 4 cases with gunshot entrance wounds of the orbit or of periorbital regions. Among these cases is a certain suicide as well as a homicide where the physicians misdiagnosed the real cause of the perforating injury of the bulbus. In cases with single gunshot wounds and entrance in the orbit the diagnostic decision suicide or homicide may be impossible based alone on the anatomic findings.
