[Ethmoiditis and its orbital complications in children].
In order to evaluate the clinical evolution of ethmoïditis with orbital complications in children and the frequency of surgical treatment, the authors reviewed the clinical findings, evolution, complications and treatment on 74 children with acute ethmoïditis. The antibiotics heal the majority of children (69 cases) until the stage of periorbital cellulitis. The abscesses which are more frequent in older children require surgical drainage.
