[Intra-orbital explosion of a rocket].
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.
