TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Household objects as a cause of self-inflicted orbital apex syndrome JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Karesh, J. W. A1 - Epley, K. D. A1 - Lasky, J. B. SP - 555 EP - 558 VL - 42 IS - 3 N2 - This report describes two cases of self-inflicted penetrating nonprojectile orbitointracranial injury. Suicide attempts caused by these types of injuries are very rare. An understanding of the orbital and intracranial anatomy and the avoidance head turn help to predict potential injury sites. Computed tomography and cerebral angiography were helpful in the treatment of these two cases. LA - SN - 0022-5282 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
