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.
