Abstract:
Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is a visual threatening
ocular emergency. We report a 50-year-old male with acute
presentation of OCS, a rare manifestation of idiopathic
orbital inflammatory disease. At presentation, high
intraocular pressure was reduced by prompt lateral
canthotomy and cantholysis. The disease responded to
systemic steroids and treatment resulted in good visual
outcome. Detail evaluation and early detection and
treatment are mandatory to prevent permanent vision loss.
