ABSTRACT
Exposure and neurotropic keratitis, conjunctival prolapse, secondary glaucoma, septic uveitis and retinitis, exudative retinal detachment, optic neuropathy and panophthalmitis.
INVESTIGATIONS
• Basic hemogram, blood sugar, urine routine, pus culture/sensitivity. • X-ray of paranasal sinuses-shows mucosal thickening, sinus opacification, and air fluid
levels. • Ultrasonography (B scan) is sensitive in identifying lesions in the anterior or medial
orbit. • CT scan-more clearly demonstrates the precise location, extent of inflammatory
process and source of infection such as sinusitis or foreign body.
