Abstract
Periorbital cellulitis is an acute infection of the periorbital soft tissues with potential sight and life threatening complications that most commonly occurs in children[1]. Post-septal abscess formation can cause loss of sight; furthermore, posterior spread of infection may progress to cavernous sinus thrombosis and intracranial infection[1, 2]. In England April 2014-March 2015, 3687 patients attended hospital with periorbital cellulitis costing the National Health Service over £9.5 million per annum before considering the cost of treating its complications[3].
