The authors report the rare occurrence of an orbital roof fracture associated with extradural and subperiosteal orbital hematoma in a 53-year-old man. This case highlights the clinical association of intracranial extradural hematoma and subperiostal orbital hematoma. It stresses the importance of accurate diagnosis of the etiology of ipsilateral exophtalmos in craniofacial trauma. In this case, surgical removal of the extradural hematoma was warranted, and the subperiosteal blood was removed via a frontal craniotomy. Surgical intervention resulted in a complete recovery without any functional sequelae.

We report an unusual case of giant adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma in an adult who presented with impaired vision. The intra- and suprasellar tumor extended into the subfrontal, subtemporal and retroclival regions. CT and MRI allowed diagnosis and optimal surgical planning.

Any variations in the origin of the ophthalmic a. are uncommon and well-explained by the comparative anatomy and human embryology. A unique case is reported of an ophthalmic a. arising from the middle meningeal a. associated with an occlusion of the central retinal a. Embryologic variations which can give such an unusual origin are discussed. Although this association may be fortuitous, we consider that an unusual origin of the ophthalmic a. could be a further factor for an occlusion of the central retinal a.
