ÖZ Orbital cellulitis is defined as infection of the soft tissue surrounding the eye. Orbital complications can be seen in children affected by acute sinusitis. Herein we report a twelve year old child admitted to our clinic with complaints of redness, swalling, pain and burning of the right upper eyelid after acute sinusitis. Frontal, maxillary and ethmoidal sinusitis, frontal bone destruction, osteomyelitis and subperiosteal abscess were observed in the orbital magnetic resonance imaging of the patient, whose clinical conditon did not improve despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. In the follow up; limitation of upward and lateral gaze began in the right eye then surgical abscess drainage was performed. Staphylococcus aureus growth was observed in the patient's blood and abscess drainage culture. The patient recovered without sequelae after surgical and medical treatment. It is important to consider a sinusitis complication in a patient who presents with eyelid swelling, proptosis, pain and limitation of movement and evaluate it in terms of appropriate medical treatment and early surgical intervention in order to prevent permanent damage.
