An unusual knife injury to the orbit: a case report.
A perforation of the left orbit by a five-inch knife blade was sustained by a 30-year-old woman. In spite of the knife's course through a myriad of vital structures, the only significant injury was a laceration of the lateral canthal tendon. Following surgical repair the patient recovered with no residual problems.
