Abstract
A one-year-old girl presents with left orbital swelling during a fever after having been treated with antibiotic therapy for rhinitis and cough. The examination shows left eyelid oedema, a nearly closed eyelid fissure and mild facial asymmetry. The diagnosis is postseptal orbital cellulitis. Orbital cellulitis in children is rare but can be severe, with risks of complications such as blindness.
