title: Intraorbital training munition.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case report of an intraorbital training munition during combat simulation.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 36-year-old National Guardsman presented to our hospital after being struck in the right orbit with a training munition during combat exercises at Fort Carson, Colorado. The clinical findings, treatment course, and outcome of the case are discussed with review of the literature.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An anterior orbitotomy and retinal detachment repair was performed on the patient. The training munition was recovered through the entrance wound in the upper eyelid. At 1 month postoperative, the patient?s vision was 20/20 with correction. No complications were noted.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case report is serves as an example of the ocular morbidity associated with training munitions as well as a reminder of the importance of compliance with protective eyewear during training exercises. While surgical excision is this case was straightforward, intraorbital foreign bodies can pose a significant surgical challenge.
