- Abstract
Introduction: Frontal extradural hematoma (EDH) extending into orbit is an uncommon entity. Clinical presentation can be subacutely progressive proptosis following head injury. Case Presentation: We present a case of frontal EDH with orbital extension which had delayed progressive proptosis. The patient improved clinically after surgical evacuation of EDH. Conclusion: It is important to look for orbital roof fractures, orbital hematoma in cases of head injury. Such cases should be treated surgically at the earliest.
