Article Synopsis
- Orbital cellulitis is a serious bacterial infection behind the eye that can lead to severe complications, including blindness and even death; early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
- A study evaluated 20 pediatric cases from March 2021 to February 2024, observing that most patients were boys around 7 years old, with typical symptoms including swelling and restricted eye movement; sinusitis was the primary source of infection in 45% of cases.
- Using orbital CT scans enabled 100% accurate diagnosis; while 75% of the children fully recovered, 25% experienced some visual impairment, highlighting the need for timely intervention and a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
