Abstract

Penetrating trauma to the orbit may cause complex injuries involving the bone, globe, and brain. Successful treatment requires a strategic scheme for preoperative assessment and management and a multidisciplinary surgical approach. These principles are demonstrated by report of a motor vehicle accident in which the driver sustained orbital impalement by a gearshift knob.
