    Abstract:
    Orbital cellulitis is a rare, potentially serious but complication of acute sinusitis. It is more frequent and benign in children, but in adults usually requieres surgical drainage of the affected sinus. We report a case of aggressive evolution with permanent blindness in an adult without general or local risk factors, in spite of adequate treatment. The literature is reviewed.
