Orbital subperiosteal hematoma associated with frontal & subfrontal extradural hematoma – A case report

Abstract

An orbital subperiosteal hematoma following a head injury is relatively uncommon. An interesting case of a patient who sustained head injury with a cricket ball where the injury resulted in a frontal extradural hematoma with an associated orbital subperiosteal hematoma is reported here. The literature related to this unusual case is reviewed here.
