Orbital compartment syndrome typically occurs due to trauma or burns. Here we discuss a case of spontaneous lamina papyracea dehiscence associated with transient orbital compartment syndrome. A previously healthy woman presented to the Emergency Department complaining of unilateral eye pain after nose blowing. The patient did not have any pupillary or extra-ocular movement abnormalities; however, she did have mildly decreased visual acuity in the affected eye. Intraocular pressure was found to be elevated and a subsequent CT scan showed orbital emphysema with spontaneous dehiscence of the lamina papyracea. The intraocular pressure decreased within hours, and ultimately, she required no intervention. [Full article available at http://rimed.org/rimedicaljournal-2018-02.asp].
