Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is a kind of acute inflammatory disease of the soft tissue in the orbital cavity induced by bacterial infection, often secondary to sinusitis or trauma, commonly seen in children. The clinical manifestations are including: redness and swelling of the eyelid, conjunctival congestion and edema, eye movement disorder, may be combined with vision loss. If the inflammation was not controlled in time, it could lead to superior ophthalmic vein thrombophlebitis, intraorbital abscess, and thrombophlebitis, meningitis, subdural abscess if there’s intracranial involvement.
