    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Spontaneous orbital hemorrhage is a rare but serious condition.
    • It can lead to rapid vision loss and ophthalmoplegia.

    Observation:

    • A 57-year-old female with hypertension presented with acute proptosis and visual loss.
    • The patient experienced external ophthalmoplegia.

    Findings:

    • Surgical evacuation of the orbital hematoma led to the restoration of vision and ocular motility.
    • The patient's vision and eye movements returned to normal post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • Acute orbital hemorrhage is an ophthalmic emergency.
    • Timely surgical intervention is crucial to prevent permanent visual impairment.
    • This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of orbital hematomas.
