  • Title: Orbital cellulitis and irreversible visual loss owing to acute sinusitis.
    Author: Tomaç S, Turgut S.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie); 2006; 38(2):131-3. PubMed ID: 17416943.
    Abstract:
    We report a case with orbital cellulitis and irreversible visual loss caused by asymptomatic acute sinusitis in a patient without symptoms or history of sinusitis. The prompt use of intravenous antibiotics in combination with early surgical drainage may prevent irreversible visual loss in the affected eye, and threatened visual loss in the fellow eye can be reduced.
