QUINTANA DIAZ, Juan Carlos. Gunshot wound in a child: A case report. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2005, vol.42, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The evolution of a 10-year-old male patient who had a marked palpebral ptosis as a result of a wound made by a bullet in the left upper eyelid while playing with another child, is presented. A preoperative radiographic study was conducted and the projectile was found in the upper orbital wall. An excellent postoperative evolution was observed once the patient underwent surgery.
