Abstract

We present a case of bilateral retro-orbital haematomata following thrombolysis of pulmonary embolism in a severely haemodynamically compromised 29-year-old female. The haematomata developed two days post-thrombolysis with marked visual impairment. Visual acuity was restored following bilateral drainage of the superior aspects of the retro-orbital space.
