We present a rare case of an isolated right superior rectus hematoma in a 14-year-old boy following a road traffic accident (RTA), which was effectively treated with oral corticosteroids alone. This case emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis and conservative treatment in isolated extraocular muscle hematomas. It also highlights the role of clinical awareness and imaging in guiding treatment while avoiding unnecessary surgery. Additionally, the case raises awareness about the rare presentations of orbital trauma and the effectiveness of non-invasive treatments.
我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名14岁男孩在道路交通事故(RTA)后出现孤立性右上直肌血肿,仅通过口服皮质类固醇就得到了有效治疗。该病例强调了孤立性眼外肌血肿及时诊断和保守治疗的重要性。它还突出了临床意识和影像学在指导治疗同时避免不必要手术方面的作用。此外,该病例提高了人们对眼眶创伤罕见表现以及非侵入性治疗有效性的认识。
