Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A case is presented of a patient who received an airgun wound to the soft tissues of the right orbit. Because the pellet ricocheted off the bony orbital rim, it did not penetrate the globe and vision was not impaired. The increasing incidence of airgun wounds in Great Britain is also discussed.
