Case report: progression of pre-septal cellulitis to orbital subperiosteal abscess despite intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics in a child

We report a case of a 7-year-old girl who initially presented with painless right eyelid swelling with full extra-ocular movement (EOM). She was treated with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics for preseptal cellulitis but her condition worsened. An urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the...
