Abstract |
Air bag has gained increasing acceptance as a device that reduce serious head and chest injury in vehicle accident. Although air bag reduces incidence and severity of facial and periorbital trauma, the possibility of ocular trauma by air bag inflation itself cannot be trivialized. We experienced a patient who developed hyphema, angle recession and macular hemorrhage after air bag inflation, and reviewed the available literatures regarding this type of injury. |
