    "title": "Emergent Cantholysis Post Blepharoplasty: a Case Report ",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Acute vision loss constitutes a true medical emergency, as a delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to permanent visual impairment. Orbital compartment syndrome is most<br>commonly associated with blunt trauma causing a retro-orbital hematoma and resulting compromise of the optic nerve. Orbital compartment syndrome, however, can occur in other scenarios including status post blepharoplasty.</p>\n<p><strong>Case Report: </strong>This is a case of a 67-year-old male who presented less than 24 hours after a bilateral upper blepharoplasty due to decreased visual acuity of his right eye. A lateral canthotomy was performed despite the absence of elevated intraocular pressures on tonometry. He regained visual acuity in his right eye shortly after the cantholysis.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: It is vital to consider the range of entities that can cause orbital compartment syndrome, including blepharoplasty. Recognition and emergent intervention improved the visual acuity in this case.</p>",
