Emergency management of orbital compartment syndrome: Lateral canthotomy and cantholysis case series
Despite OCS being a clinical diagnosis, the signs and symptoms associated with OCS are difficult to elicit on presentation.

However, imaging may have a role in determining the need for orbital decompression where the absolute indications for LCC cannot be adequately assessed.
