Abstrakt: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
