Orbital Subperiosteal Abscess in Paediatric a Case Report

Abstract

Orbital infections and their complications are mainly managed by ophthalmologists. Nevertheless, there are few cases which are better co-managed with otorhinolaryngologist (ORL) counterparts. Such example included the orbital subperiosteal abscess in which certain area of the orbit can be drained by a trained ORL surgeon. Infections in paediatric require prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment to avoid complications. We reported a case of a rapidly progress right orbital cellulitis complicated with subperiosteal abscess involving a 5years old boy in a tertiary medical centre.
