MODERN APPROACHES TO THE SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF RHINOSINUSOGENIC ORBITAL COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN

This thesis examines modern approaches to the surgical management of rhinosinusogenic orbital complications in children, focusing on the indications for surgical intervention, the selection of appropriate operative techniques, and the prevention of severe ophthalmological and intracranial complications. Particular attention is paid to the clinical characteristics of orbital cellulitis, subperiosteal abscesses, and orbital abscesses associated with acute rhinosinusitis. The importance of computed tomography, endoscopic endonasal surgery, external drainage techniques, and multidisciplinary postoperative management is discussed. The analysis highlights the significance of individualized surgical decision-making based on the localization and extent of the infectious process, the child's clinical condition, and the preservation of visual function. The integration of timely surgical intervention and adequate antimicrobial therapy is considered an essential factor in improving treatment outcomes.
