orbital cellulitis - acute infection of tissues surrounding eye
Definition for orbital cellulitis
Orbital cellulitis is a dangerous infection with potentially serious complications. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection from the sinuses (ethmoid or para-nasal).
more
Orbital cellulitis is a dangerous infection with potentially serious complications. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection from the sinuses (ethmoid or para-nasal). Other causes include a stye on the eyelid, bug bites, or a recent injury to the eyelid.
In children, orbital cellulitis is usually from a sinus infection and due to the organism Haemophilus influenzae. Other organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and beta-hemolytic streptococci may also cause this condition. Infections in children may get worse very quickly, and require immediate medical attention to avoid loss of vision. Children are at particular risk for severe infections that could result in blindness.
