Spotting the scurvy’s sight: Spontaneous intraorbital hematomas causing bilateral acute proptosis

Spontaneous intraorbital hematomas in a child with no history of malignancy, coagulopathy, or child abuse can have nutritional deficiency leading to increased risk of bleeding. Children with neurological impairment are more prone to develop scurvy. Scurvy in a child presents with both musculoskeletal findings and bleeding diathesis and, therefore, a radiologist should be well-versed with the classical osseous changes on radiographs and with unusual, yet important radiological clues of intraorbital and intracranial hematomas on computed tomography.

Abstract

Spontaneous intraorbital hematomas in a child with no history of malignancy, coagulopathy, or child abuse can have nutritional deficiency leading to increased risk of bleeding. Children with neurological impairment are more prone to develop scurvy. Scurvy in a child presents with both musculoskeletal findings and bleeding diathesis and, therefore, a radiologist should be well-versed with the classical osseous changes on radiographs and with unusual, yet important radiological clues of intraorbital and intracranial hematomas on computed tomography.
