  • Title: Orbital cellulitis demands early recognition, urgent admission and aggressive management.
    Author: Tole DM, Anderton LC, Hayward JM.
    Journal: J Accid Emerg Med; 1995 Jun; 12(2):151-3. PubMed ID: 7582417.
    Abstract:
    Orbital cellulitis is an emergency. Confusion still exists between the diagnosis of this serious condition and that of preseptal cellulitis. Delay in treatment may cause blindness and progression to life-threatening sequelae such as brain abscess, meningitis or cavernous sinus thrombosis. We report a case in which, despite late referral, emergency surgical intervention was sight saving.
