Severe ocular and periocular injuries caused by an ostrich
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg.
2003 May.
Abstract
An adult was attacked by an ostrich and suffered severe ocular and periocular injury, with permanent loss of vision. Fragments of ostrich beak were removed from the right periorbital laceration. Unprovoked severe bird injuries are rare. To the best of our knowledge, ocular injury caused by an ostrich has never been reported in the ophthalmic literature.
