To report five children with posttraumatic orbital subperiosteal hematoma.
Methods
In this study, five cases with posttraumatic orbital subperiosteal hematoma were studied and reviewed along with similar cases in a systematic literature review.
Results
The mean age of our patients was 9.40 ± 3.51 years, ranging from 4 to 13 years, and all were male. Mechanisms of injuries were blunt trauma, falling from a building, car accident, and falling from a bicycle. All patients had unilateral involvement. Treatment options included needle aspiration, surgical drainage, and observation for spontaneous resolution. Except for one patient, positive outcomes were achieved.
Conclusion
The most common location for posttraumatic orbital subperiosteal hematoma is the superior orbital wall. Traumatic optic neuropathy and permanent visual loss are uncommon. Observation, surgical drainage, and aspiration are common treatment options.
