Abstract

While less common than preseptal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis can have severe complications. With the proper use of a computed tomographic (CT) scan, physicians can more quickly recognize the clinical signs of orbital cellulitis and begin interventions to properly treat the condition. This case report highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and successful intervention for orbital cellulitis by recognizing infection progression.
