Abstract
Orbital compression syndrome is a rare acute complication of sickle cell disease that may impair vision. Assessment by a multidisciplinary team incorporates detailed history and physical examination, fundoscopy, and appropriate imaging to exclude infections or neoplasms. Supportive treatment is adequate unless there is evidence of life-threatening space-occupying lesion warranting surgery.
