Abstract:
We present a case of orbital cellulitis due to Klebsiellapneumoniae infection. The computed tomography revealed cellulitis over the right cheek with abscess formation in the right eyelid and ipsilateral chronic obstructive sinusitis. Incision and drainage of orbital abscess and functional endoscopic sinus surgery were performed sequentially. Klebsiella pneumoniae was confirmed via culture from these two lesions. The patient achieved complete remission without sequalae after surgical intervention and systemic antibiotics. We describe a successfully treated case of Klebsiella pneumoniae orbital cellulitis, which has never been reported before.
