UNLABELLED: Periorbital cellulitis is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, jeopardizing the prognosis for vision and survival.
PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to analyze the epidemiological and therapeutic features and outcomes of periorbital cellulitis cases treated in the pediatric emergency department.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study including all the children aged between 1 month and 15 years treated for periorbital cellulitis in the Pediatric Emergency Department of the Mohamed VI University Teaching Hospital in Marrakech over a period of 10 years (January 1, 2010-December 31, 2019).
RESULTS: In all, 168 cases of periorbital cellulitis were recorded, with an increasing of the number of cases, from 2 in 2010 to 39 in 2019. The most affected age bracket was the group under 5 years of age (62.5%). The most frequent mode of entry was sinusitis (22%). Preseptal cellulitis was most common (76.7%). The main clinical signs found in orbital cellulitis were proptosis (64%) and chemosis (35.8%), versus conjunctival hyperemia (78%) in preseptal cellulitis. Ophthalmoplegia was present in two cases of orbital cellulitis. The right side was most affected (44%). An orbital CT scan was performed in all cases in our study, showing preseptal cellulitis in 129 patients (76.7%), orbital cellulitis in 14 cases (8.3%), subperiosteal abscess in 20 cases (12%) and orbital abscess in 5 cases (3%). Prior treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication was noted in 6%. The most commonly used antibiotic was amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Steroid treatment was prescribed in 6% of cases. Surgical treatment was indicated in 12 patients (7.1%). The mean hospital length of stay was 3 days for the preseptal cases and 8 days for the orbital cases. All patients had good outcomes with medical and/or surgical treatment. With follow-up of over one year, no complications were noted.
CONCLUSION: The majority of our cases had positive outcomes, highlighting the advantage of early diagnosis, adapted antibiotic treatment and multidisciplinary care, rendering surgery rarely necessary.
