Abstract

AbstractSinusitis not properly treated can generate multiple complications. Among these complications, oculo-orbital manifestations can be difficult to treat and can lead to vision loss, despite modern antibiotic therapy.In this paper, we aimed to discuss the orbital complications of rhinosinusitis, especially orbital cellulitis, and the method of treatment, highlighted by the presentation of a clinical case diagnosed and treated medically and surgically in the ENT and Ophthalmology Departments, within the Braila County Emergency Clinical Hospital.
