Management and Treatment of Orbital and Preseptal Cellulitis
Orbital cellulitis and preseptal cellulitis are the major infections of the ocular adnexal and orbital tissues. Orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues of the orbit posterior to the orbital septum. Preseptal cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissue of the eyelids and periocular region anterior to the orbital septum. Orbital cellulitis and preseptal cellulitis can sometimes be a continuum.
