Recurrent periorbital cellulitis and otitis media in an asthmatic child with chronic diarrhea and short stature

Recurrent unilateral periorbital cellulitis in a pediatric patient—An anatomic abnormality

“…These occurred in both children and adults [3]. Other reported etiologies of RPOC have included periocular malignancy (nonHodgkin's lymphoma [4], plasmacytoma [5]), and immunodeficiency/neutropenia [6]. Certainly, a broad differential diagnosis must be entertained when dealing with RPOC.…”

Recurrent Periorbital Cellulitis: An Unusual Clinical Entity

“…The second case was of herpetic RPOC, which is well reported in literature 7–18 . However, a preceding history of eyelid injury without initial vesicular eruption during the first several episodes confounded the presentation.…”

“…The second case was of herpetic RPOC, which is well reported in literature. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] However, a preceding history of eyelid injury without initial vesicular eruption during the first several episodes confounded the presentation. The diagnosis was ultimately made once a herpetic vesicle was seen by obtaining viral cultures.…”

“…RPOC has also been described as the initial presenting sign of periorbital malignancy, which was ultimately diagnosed as B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma 11 or plasmacytoma 12 . In 2000, Hoarse 13 emphasized considering HIV in children and adults with any unusual recurrent infections, while Younes et al 14 described RPOC in the setting of immunodeficiency due to neutropenia. Factitious origin of RPOC has also been reported 15,16 .…”

Recurrent periorbital cellulitis in a very young child: A case report and review of literature

“…As well, some very rare conditions that should be considered include disorders that may mimic RPOC or occur as co-morbid conditions. They include malignancies, such as B-cell nonHodgkin's lymphoma [12] and plasmacytoma [13]; infections, such as orbital cysticerosis, post-operative atypical mycobacterial infection after periorbital cosmetic surgery [14] and HIV infection [15]; and hereditary disorders, such as Shwachman-Diamond syndrome [16]. Recognizing the broad differential is key to the evaluation and management of RPOC patients.…”
