“…Reported cases describe it secondary to coagulopathy and sinusitis as well as spontaneous episodes likely secondary to a sudden increase in intracranial pressure such as: labour, emesis, strangulation, scuba diving, weight lifting and coughing 3–6. Rarer causes still include metastatic carcinoma to the bony skull vault and orbit 7. A number of these cases were successfully treated conservatively with expectant management, using signs of optic nerve compression as indication to operate 8.…”

Reported is the case of a 79-year-old woman initially diagnosed with periorbital abscess on the background of a recent upper respiratory tract infection. Unexpectedly, intraoperative findings were that of a haematoma rather than an abscess. Subperiosteal orbital haematoma (SOH) is an extremely rare complication of rhinosinusitis. In contrast to the more common periorbital abscess, it is seldom listed as a complication of sinusitis. A review of reported cases suggests an older patient demographic are affected by SOH in contrast to periorbital abscess which typically affects paediatric patients. Given current demographic trends toward an older patient population with multiple comorbidities, failure to consider SOH as a differential will have important implications on preoperative workup, perioperative care and final outcome for patients. We present this case as a reminder of a rare but important complication of a common disease.

“…Orbital wall compromise from sickle-cell infarcts [1,14], sinus infections [15][16][17], and carcinoma [18] has been shown to predispose to non-traumatic subperiosteal orbital haematomas. However, no evidence of adjacent orbital wall or sinus pathology was evident on imaging of our patient to explain her unusual presentation (Figure 2).…”

Non-traumatic subperiosteal orbital haematomas are rare. A 14 year old healthy female was diagnosed after feeling a sudden "rush of blood" in her head during a headstand, followed by unilateral painful proptosis and diplopia. The haematoma did not compromise the optic nerve and resolved spontaneously within two weeks. After a thorough literature search, the authors concluded that this is the first presentation of a yoga-induced subperiosteal orbital haematoma.
