  3. History of Present Illness • 1 wk PTC • 2-3mm raised, erythematous, tender, papule, right lower lid. • After 11 hours  swelling of the lower lid with extension to lateral canthus • Pain (6/10, throbbing, localized), (+) tearing, (+) redness,(-) fever, (-) blurring of vision • No consult, no medications

  4. History of Present Illness • 3 days PTC • Fever (unknown degree) • Marked swelling, shut eye, increased tearing, pain (7/10, throbbing, right side of the face), (-) blurring of vision • Took Amoxicillin, no consult was made • Persistence of symptoms prompted consult

  5. Physical Examination • On the day of admission: • Conscious, coherent, not in CRD, stable V/S • VA: 20/20 OU • GE: Swelling of the right lower lid extending to the lateral canthus. No proptosis. (+) Redness, (+) Tearing, (+) Matted lashes, Pupils 2-3mm BRTL, (-) RAPD, narrow palpebral fissure • EOMs: Full OU • Digital palpation: Soft OU • Fundoscopy: +ROR, CM, DDM, 2:3 AV Ratio

  6. Laboratory • CBC • Elevated WBCs (11x 109/L) with neutrophilic predominance • Chest X-ray – unremarkable • Urinalysis, Na, K, Cl - unremarkable

  7. Primary Impression Preseptal Cellulitis OD

  8. Pre-Septal Cellulitis • Inflammation and infection of structures anterior to the orbital septum • Causes: • URTI – most common • Breaks in the skin • Antecedent events: Hordeola, Bug bites, Trauma, recent surgery • Pathogens: Staphylococcus Aureus/Epidermis, Streptococcus spp., Anaerobes

  9. Pre-Septal Cellulitis Orbital Septum • Fibrous tissue (thin) • Origin: Periosteum of orbital rims • Upper eyelid: up to levator aponeurosis • Lower eyelid: up to tarsal border • Barrier function

  10. Pre-septal Cellulitis: Presentation • Symptoms: • Pain • Swelling • Redness • Discharge • Conjunctival injection • Shut eye • Reduced vision (some) • Signs: • Periorbital erythema, induration, warmth, tenderness

  11. Pre-septal vs. Post-septal Pre Septal Post Septal Periorbital inflammation High morbidity, aggressive treatment, can be surgical Proptosis and chemosis Ophthalmoplegia and pain AbnormalVA, +RAPD • Periorbital inflammation • Less severe can be managed clinically • No proptosis • Normal eye movement • Normal VA, -RAPD

  12. Preseptal Cellulitis: Treatment • Management of predisposing conditions • Antibiotic Therapy • Mild: Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid, 1st gen Ceph, • If Staph infection suspected: Oxacillin/Nafcillin
