The emergency management and downstream surgical care is discussed, as well as the use of the Ocular Trauma Score to predict prognosis. Our patient had an Ocular Trauma Score of 1, considering right retinal detachment and perforating injury.<br><br>Copyright © 2019, Hanna et al.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
