Abstract
Retrobulbar haemorrhage is a rare complication following orbital trauma or surgery occurring in less than 1 per cent of cases. Early diagnosis and treatment of this complication may save the vision of the affected eye. This paper illustrates cases where diagnosis was not made and blindness resulted. We also present two cases of successful treatment due to early diagnosis.
