Aim: 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.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A.
Article Synopsis
- A 2-year-old girl developed a growing bruise-like mass in her eye socket months after an orbital injury, which was diagnosed through CT imaging as possible soft tissue contusion or hematoma.
- Surgical removal was performed, and lab tests revealed it was an orbital varix, showing CD34+ endothelium.
- This case is unique as it represents the first documented instance of posttraumatic orbital varix formation in children.

Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare condition involving an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. We present a unique case of posttraumatic unilateral CCF initially misdiagnosed as a corneal melt with iris prolapse and orbital cellulitis. The patient, a 25-year-old male, experienced swelling, bleeding, and sudden vision loss in the affected eye following a fall.

Introduction: Maxillofacial injuries are usually associated with ophthalmic injuries that may be mild to severe, and may even result in loss of integrity of the orbital skeleton and impairment of the visual apparatus.
Aim: To evaluate the pattern of ophthalmic injuries associated with maxillofacial fractures in patients who reported to a tertiary care hospital, associated with a medical college in M.P, India.
