title: [Penetrating injuries of the orbital roof caused by the point of an umbrella].
abstract: Two lethal cases of penetration injury of the orbita are reported. The injuries were caused directly by the point of an umbrella (accident or homicide), leading to canalicular destruction of the frontal lobe of the cerebrum. The mechanism of injury with cerebral involvement was not determinable except by autopsy, and the importance of a thorough clinical examination is therefore emphasized.
