Popis: A number of ocular and nonocular conditions may produce an acutely painful eye or orbit. A careful history and physical examination with special attention to the cornea, sclera, fundus, and cranial nerves will usually delineate the etiology of the pain. In particular, certain life- or vision-threatening conditions such as leaking internal carotid aneurysm, cavernous sinus thrombosis, orbital cellulitis, acute narrow-angle glaucoma, and temporal arteritis must be kept in mind.
