Darts are constantly gaining in popularity. However, their risk of injury is often underestimated. This report is about a juvenile who suffered from a severe eye injury including the opening of the eye bulb. The attending ophthalmologists ruled out the possibility that this kind of injury could be caused by a dart with a plastic point. However, by reconstructing the course of action and throwing darts at porcine eyes, the forensic medical advisory opinion was able to state that darts with damaged plastic points may cause the exact same form of injury. This casuistic illustrates the essential significance of forensic-traumatological knowledge and, especially in the case of rare injury patterns, case-related practical experiments.
飞镖运动越来越受欢迎。然而，其受伤风险常常被低估。本报告介绍了一位少年因眼部严重受伤而就医的病例，包括眼球破裂。主治眼科医生排除了这种损伤是由带有塑料尖端的飞镖造成的可能性。然而，通过重建行动过程并对猪眼投掷飞镖，法医咨询意见能够指出带有损坏塑料尖端的飞镖可能会导致完全相同的损伤形式。本案例说明了法医学创伤学知识的重要性，特别是在罕见的损伤模式情况下，相关的实际案例实验尤为重要。
