TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - CT severity spectrum of penetrating eye injuries from blasts JO - Military medicine A1 - Abrames, Erik A1 - Folio, Les R. SP - 169 EP - 173 VL - 177 IS - 2 N2 - Penetrating eye trauma from blasts can result in a vast spectrum of ocular injuries. Several cases of orbital trauma are reviewed, all of which occurred during combat operations and treated in an Air Force Theater Hospital. Computed tomography was used as the primary imaging modality and proved crucial in determining the extent of ocular injury. This report focuses on factors we believe affect globe salvageability, reviews imaging modalities in theater, and briefly discusses management in theater and aeromedical evacuation after initial injury.
