Transorbital injuries are rare and may lead to fatal craniocerebral damage. Ocular penetrating injuries account for 24% of all penetrating head injuries in adults, while this percentage goes up to 45% in children. Any penetrating injury through the eyes may enter the intracranial cavity and might prove fatal to the victim owing to cerebral tissue damage and complex management. The dead bodies of three victims were found by the side of the river with multiple injuries to their eyes. Further examination revealed that they had sustained multiple transorbital-intracranial injuries. In such cases, identifying injury patterns is vital so that cause and manner of death can be determined precisely. A thorough postmortem examination can help identify the alleged weapon involved in the act and may clear the doubts concerned with the manner of death.
眶部穿透伤较为罕见，但可导致致命性颅脑损伤。眼部穿透伤占成人所有穿透性颅脑损伤的 24%，而在儿童中这一比例上升至 45%。任何通过眼部的穿透性损伤都可能进入颅腔，并可能因脑组织损伤和复杂的处理而对受害者造成致命后果。河边发现了三具尸体，他们的眼部有多处受伤。进一步检查显示，他们遭受了多处眶颅穿透伤。在这种情况下，确定损伤模式至关重要，以便准确确定死因和死亡方式。彻底的尸检有助于确定涉嫌犯罪的武器，并可能消除对死亡方式的疑虑。
