Prospective Study of Globe Rupture Subcategory of Open Globe Injuries in Pediatric Population | Chapter 1 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13
The goal of this study is to look into the clinical profile and effects of globe rupture, which is a subclass of open globe ocular trauma in children, according to the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology System.

The patients were on average 8.44.5 years old,...
