Post-traumatic ophthalmic vein arterialization

Abstract
An unusual case of post-traumatic exophthalmos without pulsation, bruit or thrill, due to missile injury is presented. Arterialization of the ophthalmic vein represents one of the very few situations where an eye injury can lead to exsanguination and dealth unless the diagnosis is made early. Prompt carotid arteriography is advised to document the pathologic process and guide appropriate therapy.
