Orbital Eosinophilic Granuloma
نویسنده
چکیده
HPI: A 16 month old male patient presents to the UIHC Oculoplastics Clinic for evaluation of left-sided periorbital swelling. The swelling began three weeks prior to presentation in the setting of an upper respiratory infection. A short course of diphenhydramine did not relieve his symptoms. When he did not respond to a ten-day course of amoxicillin for presumed preseptal cellulitis, he was admitted to an outside hospital for IV antibiotic therapy. He did not improve with this more aggressive therapy and was transferred to UIHC for further workup and management.
