ABSTRACT
Sinusitis can spread to the orbital tissues. 'Preseptal' soft-tissue bacterial infections are relatively common during childhood and with appropriate antimicrobial therapy they usually resolve quickly. 'Orbital' soft-tissue infections, in contrast, are relatively rare and frequently cause serious morbidity. Four cases are presented. Symptomatology and pathogenesis are reviewed. Diagnostic procedures, especially CT-scan, are discussed and recommendations are given for medical and surgical management.
