下眼瞼より入り眼窠裂を通つて上顎骨後方に留りたる空氣銃彈摘出例

　耳鼻科領域に於ては，眼窠を通過した其物が副鼻腔に留つた症例は屡々報告されたが，最近私達の経驗した1例は上顎骨の後方に留つており些か趣を異にしていると思われるので，報告する次第である．

Koide and Inagaki report on a case of ac-cidental injury by air riffle shot. A boy, 8 years old, while at play was accidently shot in the face by an air riffle at a close range of about one meter of distance. Thepoint of entry of the shot was close to the right lower eye lid; after it had struck against the lateral wall of the orbit, its course was apparently deviated posteriorly towards the inferior orbital fissure where it lay stopped at a position posteriorly to the maxillary bone. For extraction of the shot the maxillary sinus was opened by radical method; inferior orbital groove was located and followed posteriorly by partial removal of superior and posterior walls of the maxiliary sinus until when it was found and removed. The patient's recovery after the operation was uneventful.
