AB Acute  orbital  compartment  syndrome  is  defined  as  an  acute  elevation  of  intraorbital  pressure  with  resultant  rapid  ocular  dysfunction.  Patients  typically  present  with  ocular  pain,  proptosis,  and  blurry  vision  (Figure  194-1).  Clinical  signs  of  an  acute  orbital  compartment  syndrome  include  afferent  pupillary  defects,  chemosis,  decreased  visual  acuity,  diminished  retropulsion  of  the  affected  globe  to  direct  manual  pressure,  elevated  intraocular  pressure  (usually  above  40  mmHg),  exophthalmos  or  proptosis,  mydriasis,  ophthalmoplegia,  and  signs  of  retinal  ischemia  on  funduscopic  examinations  (rare).1-40
