Abstract

Retrobulbar haemorrhage is a rare emergency condition usually associated with trauma. Major clinical features are loss of visual acuity, eye pain and increasing propitosis. Several spontaneous cases were also reported in literature. We present a 36 years old case of a spontaneous retrobulbar haemorrhage associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patient underwent a lateral canthotomy and cantholysis (LCC) and intravenous corticosteroids, mannitol, topical timolol and acetazolamide were administered. The aim of this study was to increase the awareness of retrobulbar hemorrhage in emergency staff. This will prevent the delay in treatment that will lead to the situation whereby the patient is left permanently blind. Retrobulbar haemorrhage is an ophtalmicacute surgical emergency that emergency physicians have to be familiar with.
