Eyelid necrosis complicating acute maxillary sinusitis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is a well recognized complication of paranasal sinusitis. Fearon et al. (1979) reviewed 6,770 cases of sinusitis, of which only 159 had orbital cellulitis. We report a case in which orbital cellulitis progressed to necrosis of the eyelids. This was treated by desloughing and split skin grafting.
