Background:
Orbital cellulitis is a rare cause of exudative retinal detachment. Hereby, we aimed to report the first case of exudative retinal detachment derived from orbital cellulitis in mainland China.
Case Presentation:
A 16-year-old girl developed severe left orbital cellulitis in 4 days. Two exudative retinal detachment lesions were presented in her left eye retina. Blood cultures were performed which identified Staphylococcus aureus. However, the cause for the orbital cellulitis was not idenitfied in this patient. Systemic application of antibiotics together with topical antibiotics and corticosteroid was effective to the improvement of orbital cellulitis and resolution of exudative retinal detachment.
Conclusions:
The treatment of such clinical condition is that of orbital cellulitis in general. The exudative retinal detachment can resolve to a great extent upon cure of the underlying disease, followed by visual acuity recovery.
