Uniocular blindness in a six-year-old boy following penetrating eye injury from a domestic hen peck
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even with a beak and claws as weapons, domestic hens are rarely dangerous. However, they can be defensive and aggressive in territorial protection or breeding. Hen pecking of human eyes is rare but has been reported with varied visual outcomes, and may occur with or without provocation. Probably because of its sharp contrast to the face, eyes are an attractive site for pecking. We report a very rare case of uniocular blindness in a six-year-old boy following a hen peck which caused a penetrating eye injury.
