ABSTRACT A 28-year-old female from Chatpara, Bongaigaon, Assam, presented to our outpatient department following a physical assault with a metallic axe by her husband. She sustained complex craniofacial injuries, including an open globe injury (OGI) in the left eye, multiple facial lacerations, and comminuted fractures of the facial bones. Following initial stabilization at a local hospital, she was referred to our center for definitive management. Multidisciplinary surgical interventions were carried out, including maxillofacial reconstruction, ocular evisceration, and prosthetic implantation. This report highlights the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and surgical management of a severe assault-related craniofacial trauma case.
