  • Title: Computerized tomographic demonstration of intraorbital bone fragments caused by penetrating trauma.
    Author: Avrahami E, Sperber F, Cohn DF.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1986 Jan; 17(1):41-3. PubMed ID: 3951795.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with fragments of bones lodged in the orbit from apparently non-penetrating trauma, associated with cranio-cerebral injury, are reported. In all three cases the initial symptoms and signs of intraorbital or retrobulbar injury were minimal. The bone fragments were not demonstrable on plain x-ray films of the skull but were clearly shown on computerized tomographic (CT) scans of the orbit. They could easily have been overlooked had reliance been placed on plain x-ray films alone. In patients with suspected non-penetrating orbital trauma, axial and coronal CT views of the orbit are recommended.
