Pediatric Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis: A Comparative Study of Clinical, Radiologic, and Laboratory Features
Preseptal cellulitis is more common and typically follows a milder clinical course. In contrast, orbital cellulitis, although rare, presents with more severe symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers. Radiologic imaging plays a key role in the diagnostic process, complementing clinical assessment. The consistent association of sinusitis with orbital cellulitis highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of sinus infections to prevent serious complications.
