RISK FACTORS AND CLINICAL FEATURES OF ORBITAL COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE RHINOSINUSITIS

This thesis examines the major risk factors, mechanisms of infection dissemination, and clinical manifestations of orbital complications in children with acute rhinosinusitis. Particular attention is given to age-related anatomical characteristics, the severity of the inflammatory process, delayed medical intervention, and the clinical warning signs indicating the spread of infection from the paranasal sinuses into the orbital tissues. The importance of early identification of predisposing factors and timely recognition of orbital involvement is emphasized as an essential component of preventing disease progression, reducing the risk of severe complications, and improving treatment outcomes.
