Abstract

Orbital cellulitis and abscess formation are uncommon complications of sinusitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent blindness and intracranial complications. We present four consecutive cases referred over 2 years which demonstrate how diagnostic delays may occur and suggest a protocol to avoid similar delays.
