Ocular involvement after subgaleal hematoma.
Subgaleal hemorrhage (SGH) is a known complication of both major and minor childhood head trauma. Rarely, it can be associated with intraorbital hemorrhage and ocular compromise. We report a child who presented with SGH and later developed orbital hemorrhages bilaterally with loss of vision necessitating surgical intervention. We also review the literature for this condition.
