Acute Orbital Cellulitis: A Case Series

Orbital cellulitis is an important and frequent complication of rhinosinusitis. If not treated adequately and timely, it can lead to loss of vision and life threatening complications. We describe three peculiar cases of orbital cellulitis with favorable outcome. An endoscopic approach is favored if orbital cellulitis is arising as a complication of rhinosinusitis. The nasal endoscopic approach is safe and quick way of addressing severe sub-periosteal abscess as well as sinus infections especially in the immunocompromised patients with poor general health conditions. Medial orbital decompression is achieved by removal of lamina papyracea, part of superolateral wall of sphenoid sinus wall and inferiomedial wall of the orbit so that orbital contents can be decompressed.
