Abstract
A 17-year-old boy presented with retrobulbar hemorrhage manifesting as right proptosis, periorbital swelling, and blindness after suffering a midfacial trauma. Immediate decompression by removal of the retrobulbar hemorrhage via the transcranial approach was performed. The proptosis was resolved and visual acuity and eye movement were restored. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a serious injury which may lead to blindness. However, recovery from blindness can be achieved with adequate management including neurosurgical decompression in the early stage.
