    A rare case of spontaneous intraorbital hematoma in a 13-year-old girl resolved successfully after surgical evacuation. This condition, marked by sudden exophthalmos and vision loss, requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous intraorbital hematoma is a rare but serious condition.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 13-year-old female presented with acute unilateral exophthalmos, ophthalmoplegia, papilledema, and vision loss.
    • Clinical presentation and computed axial tomography (CAT) confirmed the diagnosis of orbital hematoma.

    Findings:

    • Surgical evacuation of the extraperiorbital hematoma via lateral orbitotomy led to complete recovery within two weeks.
    • Review of 22 literature cases suggests diverse etiologies including hemorrhagic diatheses, vascular, and traumatic causes.

    Implications:
