[Penetrating eye injuries caused by firearms. Apropos of 17 cases].
The authors present 17 cases of perforating ocular injuries caused by fire arms. They successively describe circumstances of trauma, initial injuries, surgical techniques employed and their results. The mean follow-up of patients is about one year. They particularly insist on severity of this type of trauma and legislative problems caused by free sale of some of these arms, more specially so called self defence pellets guns.
