The tight adherence of the orbital septum to the arcus marginalis and the posterior bony confines of the orbit make the orbit particularly susceptible to a compartment syndrome with hemorrhage.

The 2 most common etiologies for a mass with this classic configuration are abscess and hematoma. An abscess would be associated with adjacent sinusitis and signs and symptoms of orbital cellulitis.
