Traumatic orbital subperiosteal hematoma are a distinct entity and should not be confused with orbital extradural hematoma. Most of the orbital subperiosteal hematoma are small in volume and resolve spontaneously. Management should be based on the clinico-radiological condition. A delayed proptosis may be simply due to orbital venous congestion due to a substantial hematoma or due to a carotid-cavernous fistula. Differentiation between the two is paramount to decide management strategy.
