TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Airbag induced facial and bilateral ocular injuries in a 14-year-old child JO - Saudi journal of ophthalmology A1 - Alquraini, Talal A. A1 - Aggour, Mustafa A. A1 - Zamzam, Ahmed M. SP - 421 EP - 425 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - Although air bags have reduced the incidence of fatal and severe injuries in automobile collisions, they have been shown to carry a risk of injury themselves. Ocular injury in particular can often be a direct consequence of air bag deployment. We report a 14-year-old child who sustained facial burn and bilateral ocular injuries affecting both the anterior and posterior segments due to an inflated air bag in a low speed motor vehicle accident.
