Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Case ReportSpontaneous intra-orbital hematoma is a rare, potentially serious condition, rapidly endangering the visual prognosis by affecting the optic nerve.It associates in its typical form a painful exophthalmia of brutal installation and oculomotor problems.Its etiologies are numerous and its diagnosis in the absence of an evocative context, relies mainly on anamnestic and radiological findings, particularly those provided by angio-MRI.This article illustrates a case of intra-orbital hematoma induced by the Valsalva maneuver, highlighting the fundamental role of anamnestic, clinical and radiological investigation in the etiological diagnosis of this pathology.
