ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Periorbital cellulitis is an inflammation of the periorbital or preseptal soft
tissue due to dental infection complication. It needs emergency surgery when
collected to avoid septic spreading to noble organs. Patients and methods:
This is a retrospective study enrolling 24 patients operated in Maxillofacial
Surgery Unit at Joseph Dieudonné RAKOTOVAO University Hospital after diagnosis
of preseptal or periobital cellulitis. Collected cellulitis were treated with
drainage, antibiotherapy, analgesic and local application of antiseptic
solution. Dental extraction was indicated in all patients. The purpose of the
study is to evaluate the efficiency of these therapeutic schemes in the
treatment of periorbital cellulitis and in the limitation of complications and
after-effects. Results: Age range 21
to 30 years-old was mostly concerned. Fifty eight percent were men. Palpebral
inflammation and chemosis were main clinical presentation. Instead of two cases
of complications, 92% patients had good outcomes.
Conclusion: This study had demonstrated the efficiency
of drainage plus antibiotherapy and dental extraction in the treatment of
collected periorbital cellulitis.
