Abstract
- A case of subgaleal hematoma accompanying ipsilateral exophthalmos is reported. The exophthalmos is due to orbital extension of subgaleal hematoma through potential gap between orbital septum and the lateral horn of the levator palpebral aponeurosis. We must remember that exophthalmos is able to occur after subgaleal hematoma.
