AB  - Orbital  cellulitis  is  a  serious  bacterial  infection  involving  the  fat  and  muscle  within  the  orbit  characterized  by  fever,  painful  purple-red  eyelid  swelling,  ophthalmoplegia,  pain  with  extraocular  movements,  proptosis,  and  variable  decreased  visual  acuity.  It  may  begin  with  eye  pain  and  fever.  In  general,  it  is  caused  by  Streptococcus  anginosus,  Streptococcus  pneumoniae,  Haemophilus  influenzae,  Moraxella  catarrhalis,  and  S  aureus.  It  usually  arises  as  a  complication  of  ethmoid  or  maxillary  sinusitis.  If  not  treated  promptly,  it  can  lead  to  blindness,  cavernous  venous  sinus  thrombosis,  meningitis,  subdural  empyema,  or  brain  abscess.
