Abstract

This article advocates the need for early interventions and the use of intravenous antibiotics in cases of orbital cellulitis. We report a case of a 25-year-old with orbital cellulitis and a discharging sinus, which had rapidly developed over a period of 6 days. History revealed the presence of a style over the nasal side of the right upper lid which rapidly developed into swelling of the eye. The patient was admitted for 5 days and intravenous antibiotics were given along with topical medical medications and a response was noted.
