Abstract
Objective: To describe a case of cellulitis complicated with orbital abscess.
Results: A 13-year-old patient was admitted with painful palpebral edema and a fever of 39°. The diagnosis of preseptal cellulitis was made on CT scan. The patient was started on antibiotic therapy, but the course worsened with the development of an orbital abscess and a pansinusitis. Management involved surgical drainage and adapted antibiotic therapy. This multidisciplinary management led to regression of the abscess.
