Non-Traumatic Subperiosteal Orbital Haematoma Following Yoga

Angela Richards and Nishantha Wijesinghe

Non-traumatic subperiosteal orbital haematomas are rare. A 14 year old healthy female was diagnosed after feeling a sudden “rush of blood” in her head during a headstand, followed by unilateral painful proptosis and diplopia. The haematoma did not compromise the optic nerve and resolved spontaneously within two weeks. After a thorough literature search, the authors concluded that this is the first presentation of a yoga-induced subperiosteal orbital haematoma.
