Abstract:
We describe children with orbital complications of acute sinusitis and analyse symptoms, diagnostic procedure and treatment options. We used X-ray and/or CT of paranasal sinuses to make diagnosis. The most frequent presenting orbital and occular symptoms are preseptal cellulitis and orbital cellulitis. Management of these children included intravenous antibiotic and we made maxillary sinus puncture with drainage. Proper recognition and treatment lead to total recovery.
