The most important infectious diseases of the orbit and its attachments are orbital cellulites preseptal and post-septal. 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.

Cranial pairs, II, III, IV and VI abolished. CT is performed where it notes hypodensity 1.5 cm x 2.5 cm in the left orbit, in contact with the inner wall, homogeneous boundary liquid / clear / clear, hypertrophic mucosa of the paranasal sinuses ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid left.
