    Periorbital cellulitis with ethmoiditis in children presents with higher fever and white blood cell counts. This serious form requires aggressive treatment and extended follow-up for better outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Periorbital cellulitis is a common infection in children.
    • Ethmoiditis, an inflammation of the ethmoid sinuses, can be associated with periorbital cellulitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of periorbital cellulitis associated with ethmoiditis in children.
    • To identify features distinguishing this severe form from uncomplicated periorbital cellulitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 72 children with periorbital cellulitis over 30 months.
    • Comparison of clinical data between patients with and without associated ethmoiditis.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty patients (28%) had concurrent ethmoiditis, characterized by mucopurulent rhinorrhea and radiological sinus opacity.

  • Ethmoiditis-associated cases showed higher fever (>38.5°C), elevated white blood cell counts (>15,000/mm³), delayed recovery (6.7 vs 3.4 days), and a higher recurrence rate (5/20 vs 1/52).

    • Conclusions:

    • Periorbital cellulitis with ethmoiditis represents a more severe clinical entity in children.
    • This condition necessitates aggressive treatment strategies and prolonged patient follow-up to manage effectively.
