Abstract
- Introduction: Orbital compartment syndrome may rarely occur in the setting of burns where therapy includes aggressive fluid resuscitation.Case: We report a case of bilateral orbital compartment syndrome in a 13-year-old male, with superficial facial burns secondary to hydrobromic acid, who did not receive aggressive fluid resuscitation. The patient was treated successfully with bilateral lateral canthotomy and cantholysis.Comment: Facial burns may lead to orbital compartment syndrome without aggressive fluid resuscitation, likely due to excessive leakage of fluid and protein into the orbit combined with an inflammatory reaction.
