ABSTRACT
We report a case of blow-out fracture of the orbit in a 37-year-old woman which was caused by deployment of an airbag following collision with a stationary vehicle whilst travelling at 30 m.p.h. The fracture did not become evident until she blew her nose some hours later. She was treated with antibiotics orally and made a full and complete recovery. Therefore, refinements in the design of airbags are warranted.
