title: [Orbit complications of sinusitis in adults. Our cases during 10 years].
abstract: The sinusites orbital complications usually associated to ethmoidites are rare in the childhood. We present a revision of 14 adults patients (10 males and 4 females) 18 to 61 years old. Seven presented a preseptal cellulitis, two had a subperiostial abscess and five an orbitary cellulitis in accordance with the Candler classification. We analyse the personal previous history, the clinical data, complementary tests and treatments (medical and surgical) evolution and hospital stay. We realise a literature revision about this subject.
