Abstract

A Saudi child with homozygous sickle cell discease (SS) presented with bilateral periorbital swelling, right-sided proptosis, skull bone infarcts, and retro-orbital and epidural hematomas. The findings of skull bone infarcts, retro-orbital and epidural hematomas are rare in patients with sickle cell disease.
