PURPOSE To report the incidence of orbital cellulitis after orbital blowout fracture. DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS All patients with orbital cellulitis and a history of recent orbital fracture. METHODS A medical record review of clinical history, imaging studies, and surgical and treatment outcome was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Res...

AIM Preseptal and orbital cellulitis are rare presenting features of intraocular retinoblastoma. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of retinoblastoma associated cellulitis, as well as to review its clinical and histopathological features. METHODS The medical records of 292 retinoblastoma patients in the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were...

A 54-year-old Japanese man noticed painful swelling and redness of his left leg. He was admitted for treatment of cellulitis, which was accompanied with increased anti-streptolysin O and anti-streptokinase titers in his clinical course. After Piperacillin/Tazobactam administration, the skin lesion resolved. However, the patient then developed arthritis, palpable purpura, and intermittent abdomi...

Orbital cellulitis is an infrequent complication of acute ethmoiditis possibly leading to life- or visual-threatening complications. Despite its natural history is well known, its clinical evolution may widely vary among patients, and even in the most favourable cases long-term sequelae may persist. We here provide a step-by-step iconographic description of a periorbital and orbital cellulitis ...

The case reported here describes an atypical presentation of cellulitis/lymphangitis in an 8-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare. The horse was presented with a history of recurrent episodes of cellulitis/lymphangitis and the presence of fluctuating cyst-like lesions on the left hindlimb. These lesions appeared to be interconnected lymphangiectasias. Surgical debridement followed by primary wound clo...

igneous cellulitis is a rare chronic indolent cellulitis that often includes the parametrium or retroperitoneal tissues. 1-5 Clinically, at a time reasonably distant from surgery, the patient may report fatigue, anorexia, vague pelvic discomfort, and/or weight loss. She may or may not be febrile. Not infrequently, abnormal or prolonged uterine bleeding may be the main reason the patient seeks m...

Acute visual loss may occur in association with sinusitis either as a complication of orbital cellulitis or, less frequently, as a part of the orbital apex syndrome. We describe two cases of temporary monocular visual loss caused by sinusitis. In one case the visual loss was due to orbital cellulitis; while in the other patient it was due to incompletely developed orbital apex syndrome. This la...

we report the case of a 40-year-old male patient admitted to the surgery ward in our hospital for recent abdominal pain, abdominal distention and fever. he had a history of similar abdominal pain and distention; for which he had undergone a laparotomy. laboratory data revealed leukocytosis with eosinophilia (42%). upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed diffuse severe erythematous pangastritis....

Background: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders or diseases (EGIDs) may result from an abnormal immune-mediated response to food antigens. Activated eosinophils release various mediators with inflammatory properties which may result in tissue and subsequently organ damage. The cytokine milieu of these patients has revealed increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inc...

langerhans cell histiocytosis is a relatively rare unique disease process characterized by an abnormal proliferation of immature dendritic cells usually affecting children and young adults. jaws are involved in less than 10% of children with the disease while mandibular involvement in young children is uncommon and bilateral affection is very rare. the purpose of this report is to describe a un...
