Early diagnosis of orbital cellulitis is urgent, and it involves a complete and thorough physical examination. Common presenting signs include: a protruding eye , eyelid edema (swelling), eye pain, vision loss, inability to move the eye completely (ophthalmoplegia), and fever. It is important to correlate physical findings with patient history ...
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory (IOI) disease refers to a marginated mass-like enhancing soft tissue involving any area of the orbit.It is the most common painful orbital mass in the adult population, and is associated with proptosis, cranial nerve palsy (Tolosa–Hunt syndrome), uveitis, and retinal detachment.
Infection around the eye. Ophthalmoplegia is an important finding in orbital cellulitis. [1] The orbit of the eye, including mechanical restrictions of eye movement, as in Graves' disease. The muscle, as in progressive external ophthalmoplegia or Kearns–Sayre syndrome. The neuromuscular junction, as in myasthenia gravis.
Findings may include deformity of the internal carotid artery within the cavernous sinus, and an obvious signal hyperintensity within thrombosed vascular sinuses on all pulse sequences. Cerebral angiography can be performed, but it is invasive and not very sensitive. Orbital venography is difficult to perform, but it is excellent in diagnosing ...
Stage II, known as orbital cellulitis, occurs when infection develops behind the orbital septum and affects the orbits. [31] This can result in impaired eye movement, protrusion of the eye, and eye swelling. [31] Stage III, known as subperiosteal abscess, occurs when pus collects between walls of the orbit and the surrounding periosteal ...
The Wikipedia entry for orbital cellulitis is currently a Class C entry. I've reviewed it, and I have some ideas to improve it in my work plan. At first glance, I noticed the "diagnosis" heading is empty-- I plan to start and contribute to that section with possibly adding a subheading based on physical exam findings.
Graves' is an orbital autoimmune disease. The thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSH-R) is an antigen found in orbital fat and connective tissue, and is a target for autoimmune assault. [citation needed] On histological examination, there is an infiltration of the orbital connective tissue by lymphocytes, plasmocytes, and mastocytes.
Periorbital cellulitis, or preseptal cellulitis, is an inflammation and infection of the eyelid and portions of skin around the eye anterior to the orbital septum. [1] It may be caused by breaks in the skin around the eye, and subsequent spread to the eyelid; infection of the sinuses around the nose (); or from spread of an infection elsewhere through the blood.
