Abstract

Orbital cellulitis is a rare disease. Two anatomo-clinical forms can be distinguished: a preseptal "benign" form and a retroseptal "severe" form. The purpose of this study was to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic profile of orbital cellulitis in a third-line Hospital in Tunis, Tunisia. We conducted a retrospective study involving 109 patients hospitalized for orbital cellulitis. Two groups were distinguished: the retroseptal cellulitis group including 42 patients (38.5%) and the preseptal cellulitis group including 67 patients (61.5%). The average age of patients was 27.1 ± 34.8 years. The sex ratio M/F was 0.84 (45.9% of male patients). Acute sinusitis was the most frequently identified portal for retroseptal cellulitis entry (35.7%, n=15), while acute dacryocystitis was the most common cause of preseptal cellulitis (23.9%, n=16). Diabetes, non-functioning eye and prior use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were associated with retroseptal cellulitis (p=0.007, p=0.022 and p=0.014 respectively). All patients received systemic antibiotic therapy. Ten patients (23.8%) of the retro-septal cellulitis group and 5 patients (7.46%) of the preseptal cellulitis group underwent surgery. Nine cases of blindness (8.2%), a case of septic shock and a case of death were reported. Poor prognostic factors were a time of consultation > 7 days (aOR = 4.277, 95% CI = 2.504-32.426, p = 0.006) and Chandler stage>III (aOR = 7.009, 95% CI = 1.69-51.839, p = 0.029). In developing countries and especially in Tunisia, orbital cellulitis can be sight threatening or even life-threatening. Early management could lead to a favorable outcome without sequelae., Competing Interests: Les auteurs ne déclarent aucun conflit d'intérêts., (Copyright: Manel Mekni et al.)

Abstract

The ankyloblepharon filiform adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital palpebral abnormality characterized by a partial non disjunction of the gray lines of upper and lower eyelids. We report two cases of newborns presenting with ankyloblepharon and highlight its potentially amblyogenic impact and the possible ocular and systemic associations.
