Abstract

Increased pressure in the orbital compartment is a medical emergency requiring immediate surgical intervention. Treatment should be initiated within the first hour to avoid permanent visual loss. This review describes the findings of orbital compartment syndrome and the procedure of performing lateral canthotomy and cantholysis. We recommend that any doctor seeing patients in an emergency setting should have knowledge of the symptoms and procedure.
