The origin of which is secondary to a process of the skin or sine paranasal about 60% arise as a result of the maxillary sinus or ethmoid above. In addition to the source can also be hematogenous. According to Chandler, classified as: I. pre-septal cellulites, II. Orbital cellulites, III. Periorbital abscess, IV. Orbital abscess,. Sinuscavernous thrombosis. The pediatric population is most affected. Patient 13 years old, male, admitted with a pre-hospital proptosis and pain in his left eye with 10 days of development, previously healthy or local trauma, treated with amoxicillin with development numb.
