[Orbital complications in children].
The author observed 36 children and 73 adults with orbital complications of sinusitis. Orbital complications in children are frequently observed during acute inflammation of several accessory sinuses of the nose. It is the lymphohematogenic way of infection spreading that prevails in children with orbital complications of sinusitis. Non-supurative forms of eye-socket affection are more often observed in children with diseases of nasal accessory sinuses. Suppurative forms of eye-socket diseases proceed with a much graver course in children than in adults. Changes of fundus oculi and disturbance of vision are more frequently observed in children with orbital complications than in adults.
