title: Spontaneous subperiosteal orbital hematoma.
abstract: A case of spontaneous subperiosteal orbital hematoma is reported. The clinical differentiation of a subperiosteal orbital hematoma from an intraorbital hematoma is described. Although many "spontaneous" orbital hematomas have been associated with systemic and local orbital diseases, only 3 other truly spontaneous subperiosteal hematomas have been reported.
