A 48-year-old female patient presented in the emergency room with eyelid edema in the right eye, with 3 days of evolution (Figure 1).
Orbital CT scans ((a) sagittal scan, (b) coronal scan) revealed an area of bone discontinuity in the right orbital roof with adjacent cephalocele (arrow).

Brain tomography scans showed an area of bone discontinuity of the orbital roof with brain herniation and a CSF leak into the eyelid (Figure 2).
Orbital MR ((a) sagittal scan, (b) coronal scan) showed an area of bone discontinuity in the anterior right orbital roof with adjacent cephalocele (extraconic) and a frontobasal area of encephalomalacia related to trauma.

Magnetic resonance of the orbits confirmed the result of computed tomography (CT) and revealed an area of frontal encephalomalacia probably related to the previous trauma (Figure 3).
