Preseptal and orbital cellulitis
Diagnosing and managing periorbital cellulitis can be difficult, and complications of misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment can potentially be life-threatening. Most commonly due to bacterial infection, treatment should be initiated promptly to avoid progression of the disease and its complications. While good clinical examination is the most important part of assessment of pre- and post-septal orbital cellulitis, ancillary testing and specialist consultation may be necessary.
