    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Osteomyelitis of the facial bones, particularly those surrounding the orbit, presents complex clinical challenges.
    • Accurate diagnosis and effective management are crucial to prevent severe complications and functional impairment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical, radiological, and microbiological features of osteomyelitis affecting the orbital parts of the frontal, maxillary, and zygomatic bones.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical and antibiotic management for these cases.
    • To discuss challenges and potential solutions for correcting deformities resulting from cicatrization.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of seven patients with orbital bone osteomyelitis.
    • Review of clinical presentations, radiological findings (e.g., CT scans), and microbiological data.
    • Description of treatment protocols including antibiotics, surgical debridement (curettage), and sequestrectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Seven cases of osteomyelitis involving the frontal, maxillary, and zygomatic bones were analyzed.
    • Treatment comprised a combination of antibiotics, curettage, and sequestrectomy.
    • Challenges in correcting post-surgical deformities due to scarring were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteomyelitis of the orbital facial bones requires a multi-faceted treatment approach.
    • Surgical intervention combined with antibiotics is essential for managing infection and bone necrosis.
    • Secondary reconstructive procedures, such as skin grafting, may be necessary and successful for correcting deformities.
