TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Penetrating injury of the eye causing bilateral visual loss: an eye opener! JO - Asian journal of neurosurgery A1 - Singh, Mukesh Kumar A1 - Deora, Harsh A1 - Tripathi, Manjul A1 - Mohindra, Sandeep A1 - Batish, Aman SP - 943 EP - 945 VL - 14 IS - 3 N2 - Penetrating orbitocranial injuries are often serious and life-threatening trauma. A thorough knowledge of the mechanism of injury, direction of the projectile object, low index of suspicion, appropriate radiological investigations, medical management, and timely surgical intervention are necessary for the prevention of any serious complication. The penetrating objects are usually lodged at the site of entry with very less chances of intracranial migration. Authors here describe their experience in the management of such an injury with a discussion of pitfalls in surgical treatment.
