    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Orbital and subperiosteal abscesses are serious infections with potential for severe complications.
    • Paranasal sinus disease, especially ethmoidal sinusitis, is the most frequent etiology, particularly in pediatric populations.

    Observation:

    • A review of 13 series encompassing 148 patients with orbital abscesses was conducted.
    • Four new cases are presented, offering detailed clinical insights.
    • The study examines the five-group classification system for orbital abscesses.

    Findings:

    • Common sources, bacteriology, treatment modalities, and visual outcomes were analyzed.
    • Diagnostic procedures including imaging (sinus radiography, ultrasound, CT scanning) and laboratory tests are discussed.
