Severe necrotising orbital cellulitis requires aggressive surgical intervention. Prompt surgical drainage of orbital abscesses is crucial for preventing vision loss and death.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Necrotising orbital cellulitis is a severe infection of the eye socket.
  • It can rapidly lead to vision loss and systemic toxicity.

Observation:

  • Two cases of severe necrotising orbital cellulitis associated with sinusitis are presented.
  • Both cases exhibited rapid progression, extensive tissue necrosis, and abscess formation.

Findings:

  • One patient developed panophthalmitis requiring eye evisceration.
  • The other patient’s vision was preserved through repeated surgical drainage of orbital abscesses.

Implications:

  • Aggressive surgical management, including drainage of abscesses, is critical for treating necrotising orbital cellulitis.
