We report a case of a 71-year-old Malay lady, a passive smoker for 20 years, presenting with recurrent orbital cellulitis at the same site. She initially presented with right periorbital swelling, redness, and reduced vision worsening over two weeks, along with a firm swelling over the right temple.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the rise of invasive fungal sinusitis, particularly mucormycosis, in post-COVID-19 patients in India, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis through neuroimaging to improve survival rates.
- - Researchers analyzed MR imaging from 91 confirmed cases, finding that over half of the patients (51.6%) had advanced disease with intracranial spread, with significant complications such as cavernous sinus involvement and osteomyelitis.
- - The results showed that unlike non-COVID-19 cases, there were no instances of certain severe complications like thrombosis in the studied COVID-19-associated cases, emphasizing unique patterns in disease manifestation.

Sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited vaso-occlusive disorder, results in recurrent painful episodes and a variety of serious systemic complications that can lead to severe disabilities and even death. Here, we report a case of a 19-year-old African American patient with homozygous sickle cell trait who presented with right upper lid edema and ptosis, 3 days after his admission to the hospital following a sickle cell crisis. Initially, mistaken as a superinfection in the context of his disease, a diagnosis of orbital abscess was made.

This paper presents a literature review and a case of an 83-year-old otherwise healthy female patient with a history of recent syncope, a sudden-onset right-sided temporal headache, diplopia, and vision loss. An exam revealed right-sided upper eyelid ptosis, myosis, vision loss, ophthalmoplegia, and a positive relative afferent pupillary defect on the right eye. CT showed sphenoid sinus opacification, eroded lateral sinus wall, Vidian canal, disease extension to the posterior ethmoid air cells, orbital apex, medial orbital wall, and pterygopalatine fossa.
