title: [Endoscopic approach to the treatment of subperiosteal orbital abscess].
abstract: The treatment of orbital complications of nasosinusal processes has seen numerous modifications. Traditionally, cases with purulent collections were treated by external drainage. Currently, the introduction of new optical systems allows such complications to be approached from within the nasal cavity. We report a case of a 3-year-old girl with a subperiosteal orbital abscess secondary to ethmoiditis, which was cured by minimally aggressive endoscopic management and medical treatment.
