Abstract:
Frequent causes of exophthalmos are orbital inflammations, vascular disorders, various orbital neoplasms, metabolic diseases, and developmental anomalies. But subperiosteal hematoma is a rare cause of exophthalmos. We experienced three cases of exophthalmos caused by the subperiosteal hematoma and managed successfully by needle aspiration and conservative treatment.
