A case of orbital compartment syndrome caused by orbital abscess in an immunocompetent pediatric patient

This case report investigates the development of orbital compartment syndrome in an immunocompetent pediatric patient due to an orbital abscess resulting from asymptomatic sinusitis. The authors emphasize the critical need for timely assessment of intraocular pressures and prompt intervention in patients with orbital infections to prevent permanent visual impairment. The successful management of the patient's condition underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing complications associated with orbital cellulitis.
