Abstract Purpose:The infections in the tissues surrounding the eyeball are of two types preseptal and orbital cellulitis. Herein, we report the clinical manifestations of both preseptal and orbital cellulitis.

Methods:This study included 55 patients with preseptal cellulitis and 24 patients with orbital cellulitis treated during a period of 17 years and 7 months at the Department of Ophthalmology, Matsuyama Red Cross Hospital. Preseptal cellulitis is the infection of the tissue located anterior to the orbital septum, and the infection beyond the septum is orbital cellulitis diagnosed by either computed tomography(CT)or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). Patients of both cellulitis required the pathologic organisms to be detected via bacteriologic cultures or effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment.

Results:In age distribution of both cellulitis, the preseptal group was more frequently found in patients aged under teens and in sixties and seventies, while the orbital group was most frequent in the fifties age group. The prevalence of background etiology in preseptal and orbital cellulitis was studied. The most frequent complication in preseptal cellulitis was dacryocystitis and that in orbital cellulitis was sinusitis. Among general disorders, patients either with diabetes mellitus or carcinoma were on the increase in both cellulitis. White blood cell count and C-reactive protein, as a sensitive indicator for inflammatory and infectious process, were elevated in the orbital cellulitis. In the preseptal cellulitis 70% of patients showed gram-positive coccus, while in the orbital cellulitis the number of gram-positive coccus decreased and gram-negative bacillus and mycosis increased. Also anaerobic bacillus increased in the orbital cellulitis. Antibiotics were used more common in the presptal cellulitis but surgical intervention was necessary in the orbital cellulitis.

Conclusion:The evaluation of clinical features of preseptal and orbital cellulitis brings out the best selection of antibiotics and/or surgical management for the infected patients.
