Ent Disorders

Background: It is important to diagnose the condition early and manage aggressively. It is often difficult to cure orbital cellulitis due to late treatment and may cause blindness if left untreated because of optic nerve compression. Both orbital abscess and cavernous sinus thrombosis may lead to intracranial spread of infection, such as meningitis or cerebral abscess with high morbidity and possible mortality.Subjects and Methods:A total number of 124 cases of ophthalmological manifestation caused by various ENT diseases, mostly paranasaltumourextensions; nasopharyngeal tumour and furunculosis of nose were analyzed in a retrospective study in relation to their age, sex, clinical,radiological and histopathologicalprofile.Results: Direct nasal endoscopy(DNE), Fibre optic Flexible nasopharyngoscopy was Useful. HRCT scan was considered as the most dependable investigating tool. Different modalities of medical and surgical treatment have been adopted according to location and nature of diseases.Conclusion: Aclose co-operationand team effort required between otorhinolaryngologist and ophthalmologist to overcome this kind of challenges.

Background: Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a complication of infection around the face or paranasal sinuses with high morbidity and mortality rates. Cavernous sinus thrombosis is generally caused by septic infection, such as orbital cellulitis. Case Illustrations: A 35-year-old male who came to the neurology polyclinic complained of swelling in the left eyelid, red, watery eyes, blurred vision, difficulty opening the left eye, and the movement of the left eyeball felt normal. The patient had a history of left orbital cellulitis. Laboratory investigations showed an increase in inflammatory markers. The CT scan with contrast showed a hyperdense lesion in the left orbit, suggesting orbital cellulitis. The patient was diagnosed with a cavernous sinus thrombosis due to orbital cellulitis. He was treated with an antibiotic, anticoagulant, and corticosteroid. Three months after treatment, the visual complaints improved, the headache decreased drastically, and we did not find any extraocular muscles weakness. Conclusions: The administration of antibiotics and anticoagulant therapy in patients with cavernous sinus thrombosis has been proven clinically. The use of corticosteroids has not been proven but is strongly suspected to reduce edema caused by compression of the cavernous sinus. Keywords: Cavernous sinus thrombosis, orbital cellulitis. infections.

Background: Orbital cellulitis is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, jeopardizing the  vital and functional prognosis. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological, therapeutic and evolutional aspects of orbital cellulitis cases treated at the pediatric service at Mohamed V military hospital. Patients and methods: retrospective study including all the children aged between 1 month and 15 years treated for orbital cellulitis at the pediatric service of the Mohamed V Hospital over a period of 3 years (1st January 2016-31st December 2019). Results: 24 cases of orbital cellulitis were gathered. Age varied between 1 month and 15 years with a median of age of 6. years. Feminine predominance (58%) was noted . The disease mainly involved the sinus (32%).Clinically, fever was present in 10 patients (41%),palpebral edema was universal, proptosis was noted in 5 cases(20.8%),chemosis and ptosis were noted in 4 cases(16.6%),bacteriological testing identified micro-organisms in 3 cases. An orbital CT scan was performed in all cases of our study, showing preseptal cellulitis in 14 cases (58.3%), orbital cellulitis in 3 cases(12.5%),and orbital abscess in 7 cases. The medical treatment consisted of ceftriaxone, metronidazole and aminoside or amoxicilline clavulanic acid, corticosteroid therapy prescribed in 5 cases. Surgical treatment was indicated in 3 patients. The outcome of All cases was favorable. Conclusion: The majority of our cases had a positive evolution highlighting the advantage of an early diagnosis, and adapted antibiotic and a multidisciplinary patient care making the need for surgery rarely necessary.

Odontogenic infections are common and very often spread to potential spaces of head and neck. The spread of such infection to adjacent maxillary sinuses or distant sites such as the orbits are a rare occurrence and may develop periorbital and orbital cellulitis. Unfortunately once orbital cellulitis and subsequently orbital abscess develops it can give rise to serious complications such as complete blindness or even more serious and life-threatening situations as cavernous sinus thrombosis, intracranial abscess or even death. Two cases are presented to demonstrate the differences between the two conditions and the necessary management in either case. This article provides an insight into the clinical behaviour of orbital infections of odontogenic origin with contemporary diagnostic and treatment modalities that will help in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with these conditions.
