Bilteral orbital cellulitis with mucopurulent conjunctivitis Pnemococcal Gonococcal Post traumatic Adv CBC CRP ESR Culture of secretion There is chance of spread to cavernous sinuses Rx Hospitalisation Iv & topical antibiotic Anti inflammatory Ophthalmologist opinion
Child looks "TOXIC" BILATERAL CELLULITIS PERI-ORBITAL REGION. LEFT EYE ECHYMOSIS. Needs detailed History ? Dx : SEVERE SEPSIS WITH PERI-ORBITAL CELLULITIS. R/O : MALIGNANT INFILTRATION. URGENT OPTHALMOLOGIST OPINION.
History is not adequate.How long is it present? Is it painful or painless? Any constitutional upsets? It is not desirable to jump to a diagnosis or order for costly investigations. I would prescribe systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents +topical Antibiotic and NSAIDs for a few days and it will help to diagnose the case.
This child apperars to be an infant.T here are significant colour changes on the lids. There is chemosis. We need morr history and clinical findings to exclude leukemia especially AML and neuroblastoma. Is there any history of trauma?
Bilateral sewere chemosis there does not seem any inflamation. Conservative treatment is not going to help , Compression eye lid suturing a seme invasive technique is gong to help
Give cold compresses, lubricants, antibiotic eye ointment to cover prolapsed conjunctiva. It could be severe infection or malignancy, investigate by CBC, Peripheral Smear, HB electrophoresis, USG orbit, MRI Orbit PNS & Brain to arrive at a diagnosis and manage accordingly

On examination, there was severe left eyelid swelling, which made the rest of the ocular examination difficult. The patient also had fever at 39.2°C. What are your comments?
