TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Intra-orbital explosion of a rocket JO - Revue de stomatologie et de chirurgie maxillo-faciale A1 - Cantaloube, D. A1 - Rives, J. M. A1 - Paulus, C. A1 - Mertens, P. A1 - Bertrand, J. L. SP - 248 EP - 252 VL - 89 IS - 4 N2 - Orbito-palpebral ballistic wounds are relatively common, most often due to firearms, and raise the problem of their surgical management. Excision of the intra-orbital foreign bodies remains difficult, above all when there is impaction of the anterior portion. The authors report a model case of orbital trauma by rocket splinter, excision of which was possible via the entry orifice.
