Abstract :
We report a case of 64 year old female who presented with an acute onset of right sided painful abaxial proptosis, superficially ruptured inferonasal orbital abscess with nil perception of light. On further evaluation the cause for the visual loss was attributed to hemi retinal artery occlusion with ischemic optic neuropathy . Orbital abscess has serious vision threatening and life threatening consequences. CT scan delineates the source and extent of tissue involvement. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management is imperative.
