An unusual cause of globe rupture in a child and its management

Abstract

Globe rupture in children usually occurs from injury with sharp objects. Our patient had a pungai (Indian beech tree) seed thrown at his right eye and presented with ruptured globe. Globe repair was done, and the patient had a good visual outcome. Awareness about the outcome of open globe injury with unusual things should be created.
