This is a case of a 44-year-old female with a history of Graves' orbitopathy presented to the emergency department after waking from a nap with sudden onset of left facial and periorbital swelling, ecchymosis, and subconjunctival hemorrhage. A CT scan obtained in the emergency department revealed a left blowout fracture and enlarged extraocular muscles. The patient lives with her mother and both adamantly denied any trauma. The patient had sustained a spontaneous orbital fracture; a process reported but few times in the medical literature.
