“…In cases where there is a difficulty in performing a CT scan, a bedside ultrasound could be performed to assist in establishing the diagnosis. A scientific paper published in 2012 reported that ultrasound can be used to easily assess the orbit and to monitor response to treatment without additional exposure to radiation (Derr & Shah 2012). In periorbital cellulitis, oedematous swelling of the eyelids may be seen anteriorly, whereas in orbital cellulitis, a heterogenous collection of hyperand hypoechoic material may be seen surrounding the orbit from within the orbital septum (Derr & Shah 2012).…”

Selulitis orbital merupakan jangkitan di tisu orbit yang kemungkinan menyebabkan kecederaan yang serius jika tidak dirawat segera. Penyakit ini memerlukan rawatan yang lebih agresif dan itulah sebabnya adalah penting untuk membezakan penyakit ini daripada penyakit yang tidak begitu membahayakan nyawa seperti selulitis praseptal. Kes ini membincangkan mengenai seorang pesakit selulitis orbital dan mempunyai komplikasi daripada penyakit tersebut. Kelewatan memberi antibiotik yang sesuai akhirnya menyebabkan pesakit ini meninggal dunia. Kelewatan ini adalah disebabkan pesakit ini adalah pesakit terimunokompromi dan mempunyai organisma lain daripada populasi normal.

“…It is also worth of remembering that CT imaging not always allows for differential diagnosis between intraorbital inflammatory effusion and matured puss collection. Orbital sonography, though a method of poor general resolution, can reportedly be ahead of CT for imaging of a fluid collection, like encapsulated puss [16][17][18][19].…”

“…MRI and ultrasound of the orbit may also differentiate between preseptal and orbital cellulitis however, it is a lengthy procedure that may not be suitable in uncooperative paediatric patients. (16). However, ultrasound may not be able to detect involvement of the orbital apex.…”

We report a case of a 7-year-old girl who initially presented with painless right eyelid swelling with full extra-ocular movement (EOM). She was treated with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics for preseptal cellulitis but her condition worsened. An urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbit showed orbital abscess, subperiosteal abscess in the medial orbital wall and evidence of sinusitis in the anterior ethmoidal air cells. She underwent Endoscopic Orbital Decompression (EOD) surgery on day 4 of presentation and her condition improved remarkably. We report a case of orbital abscess with subperiosteal abscess in the medial orbital wall. This case highlights the possibility of progression of orbital cellulitis despite administration of a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
