    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Orbital cellulitis is a rare but severe complication following extraocular muscle surgery.
    • Reports of this complication have been infrequent, especially since the advent of advanced imaging technologies.

    Observation:

    • A case of unilateral orbital cellulitis occurred after bilateral strabismus surgery.
    • Computed tomography (CT) played a crucial role in diagnosing and managing the condition.

    Findings:

    • Early administration of antibiotics led to a favorable outcome.
    • The case was compared with previously reported instances of orbital cellulitis post-strabismus surgery.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of orbital cellulitis.
