Infection of the ocular adnexal structures posterior to the orbital septum is known as orbital cellulitis. Sinus infections are the most prevalent source of infection. Mucopyoceles are infectious mucous-filled cysts that affect the paranasal sinuses, primarily the frontal sinus. Many of these lesions have an intraorbital extension, creating vision-threatening ocular complications such as orbital cellulitis, as well as an intracranial extension, which can lead to life-threatening neurological complications such as meningitis. We used a combination surgical technique to treat a 12-year-old female patient with acute orbital cellulitis caused by frontoethmoidal mucopyocele: transnasal endoscopic and open surgical drainage.
