Post-Traumatic Subfrontal with Orbital Extradural Hematoma and Proptosis (Unusual Presentation Managed with Needle Aspiration) A Case Report with Review of Literature

Abstract

AbstractExtradural hematoma (EDH) is a common intracranial pathology following motor vehicle accidents, comprising approximately 0.2 to 6% of all head injuries. The association of EDH with subperiosteal intraorbital hematomas is rarely reported. We report a case of a traumatic subfrontal EDH with subperiosteal hematoma (orbital EDH) successfully treated with needle aspiration, demonstrating that in appropriate patients, needle aspiration can result in the resolution of symptoms without an invasive procedure.
