Orbital compression syndrome in a Ugandan child with sickle cell disease: A case report.

Orbital compression syndrome is a rare acute complication of sickle cell disease that may impair vision.

Supportive treatment is adequate unless there is evidence of life-threatening space-occupying lesion warranting surgery.
