Diagnosis is based on clinical features and radiological imaging, and requires early antibiotics and often surgical drainage to save vision. Sub-Tenon\u2019s injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) have caused localized infections in previous reports, which have responded to therapeutic interventions. Here we report a case where a delayed presentation of an orbital abscess secondary to sub-Tenon\u2019s TA for persistent post-operative cystoid macular oedema, without obvious signs of infection, rapidly progressed to cause orbital compartment syndrome. Despite treatment, the patient lost complete vision in the affected eye. This case discusses the rare and unusual cause of abscess formation and a diagnostic dilemma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]],"date-time":"2024-05-30T18:01:33Z","timestamp":1717092093000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Diagnosis
