ABSTRACT
Orbital cellulitis is a disease caused by either direct extension of infection to the orbit from the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, eyelid and teeth, or by penetrating trauma and operation. Systemic diseases also could be spread to the orbit via blood stream. The incidence of orbital cellulitis is progressively decreasing with the development of antibiotics. Recently, the authors experienced a case of orbital cellulitis probably originaged from acute infection of ethmoid sinus and managed successfully with functional endoscopic sinus surgery and appropriate antibiotic treatment. We report this case with review of literatures.
