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.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
