  • Title: Subperiosteal hematomas of the orbit in young males: a serious complication of trauma or surgery in the eye region.
    Author: Wolter JR.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 1979; 16(5):291-6. PubMed ID: 512784.
    Abstract:
    Three documented cases of subperiosteal hematomas in the region of the orbital roof of young males are used to demonstrate the unpredictable appearance, the obscure nature, the complications and the treatment of this process. One case occurred in a 14-year-old boy following blunt head trauma and was cured by aspiration. The second case, in a 16-year-old boy, also resulted from blunt head trauma; it was associated with a large subgaleal hematoma and caused permanent blindness of the involved eye. The third case developed in an 18-year-old male as a complication of acute purulent endophthalmitis following an intraocular foreign body. The aim of this study is to separate subperiosteal hematomas and to show that it is a concise clinical entity with its own typical history, appearance and treatment.
