title: Subperiosteal intraorbital haematoma following minor head trauma. Case report.
abstract: Subperiosteal haematoma of the orbit following minor head trauma is extremely rare. A 5-year-old girl is presented with bilateral proptosis, chemosis, extraocular palsy, and progressive visual loss after minor head trauma. She had no evidence of fracture or abnormality of coagulation. The intraorbital haematoma resulted most probably from the oozings of a subgaleal haemorrhage which entered the subperiosteal space and then dissected over the supraorbital ridge into the orbit.
