Abstract

Spontaneous subperiosteal orbital hemorrhage is rare. The authors describe a case of acute bilateral eyelid swelling, eyelid ptosis, and double vision in a patient immediately following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. CT revealed bilateral subperiosteal orbital hemorrhages. The patient demonstrated no signs of optic nerve compromise, and the hemorrhages resolved spontaneously without sequela. Previous reports in the literature have documented subperiosteal hemorrhages following increased intracranial venous pressure, coagulopathies, and prone positioning during procedures. To the authors' knowledge, subperiosteal orbital hemorrhages have not been previously described following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Ophthalmologists and gastroenterologists should be aware of this potential complication associated with this procedure.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
