    Orbital cellulitis is an acute, purulent inflammation of the orbital tissue behind the orbital septum that can endanger vision and life. It is commonly caused by the spread of infection from neighboring tissues like the paranasal sinuses, teeth, or face. The infection can also result from a penetrating injury to the eye, following septic eye surgery, or spreading from a distant site of infection. The most common organisms involved are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Hemophilus influenzae.
