TY - JOUR T1 - Orbital cellulitis demands early recognition, urgent admission and aggressive management. JF - Journal of Accident & Emergency Medicine JO - Arch Emerg Med SP - 151 LP - 153 DO - 10.1136/emj.12.2.151 VL - 12 IS - 2 AU - D M Tole AU - L C Anderton AU - J M Hayward Y1 - 1995/06/01 UR - http://emj.bmj.com/content/12/2/151.abstract N2 - Orbital cellulitis is an emergency. Confusion still exists between the diagnosis of this serious condition and that of preseptal cellulitis. Delay in treatment may cause blindness and progression to life-threatening sequelae such as brain abscess, meningitis or cavernous sinus thrombosis. We report a case in which, despite late referral, emergency surgical intervention was sight saving. ER -
