    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Orbital cellulitis is a serious infection affecting the eye socket.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss and complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of orbital cellulitis.
    • To analyze patient demographics, symptom onset, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 49 orbital cellulitis cases.
    • Analysis of patient age, symptom duration, leukocyte counts, radiographic findings, CT scans, and cultures.
    • Documentation of surgical interventions and complications.

    Main Results:

    • Average patient age was 31 years, with symptom onset varying from less than a week to over four weeks.

  • Abnormal sinuses were found in 61% of patients; CT scans revealed orbital masses in 6 out of 9 patients.
  • Complications occurred in 5 patients, including osteomyelitis and afferent pupillary defect; cultures were often unrevealing.

    • Conclusions:

    • Orbital cellulitis management requires aggressive parenteral antibiotic therapy.
    • Judicious surgical intervention is often necessary for effective treatment and complication management.
