Necrotising orbital cellulitis

Abstract

Atypical rapidly progressive necrotising orbital cellulitis may occasionally be encountered. In such cases, aggressive surgical drainage of orbital abscesses is crucial to prevent blindness and death.

Migration of Baylisascaris procyonis into the vitreous

“…7 No matter the nematode involved, laser photocoagulation of the larva, whenever it is possible to identify it, may lead to visual acuity improvement when it takes place in the early stages of the disease. 8 Therefore, early diagnosis by prompt location of the larva and its destruction by laser photocoagulation may change the vision threatening prognosis of DUSN. In this case, we were unable to perform the required treatment since the patient did not return for follow up visits.…”

“…Fortunately he did not develop orbital cellulitis where more serious surgical intervention has been necessary-for example, multiple drainage of abscesses or evisceration 8 and even exploration of the neck. 3 Our case demonstrates how difficult iGAS can be to treat.…”

“…5 Except for this particular family the ADULT syndrome has so far only been described in four single non-related cases. [6][7][8][9] We report on the clinical course of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in the youngest member of the above mentioned family (fig 1).…”

Severe invasive haemolytic group A streptococcal cellulitis and eyelid necrosis treated with linezolid

“…Our patient presented with a severe iGAS infection, his only risk factor was rheumatoid arthritis. Fortunately he did not develop orbital cellulitis where more serious surgical intervention has been necessary-for example, multiple drainage of abscesses or evisceration 8 and even exploration of the neck. 3 Our case demonstrates how difficult iGAS can be to treat.…”
