[About the so-called "Geserick sign"].
Geserick et al. were the first who reported about fractures of the medial and basal wall of the orbita, originating from blunt occipital trauma leading to consecutive contrecoup lesions of the bulbus/orbita complex. A case history with (survived) occipital craniocerebral trauma and monocle hematoma (48-year-old drunken homeless person, found unconscious in a small street of the redlight quarter) is presented. The question was whether the injuries were caused by falling or inflicted by an assailant.
