A child with bilateral orbital cellulitis one day after strabismus surgery.
Orbital cellulitis is a rare complication of strabismus surgery. We report a case of a 4-year-old boy with bilateral orbital cellulitis after uneventful surgery to correct esotropia. Concomitant sinusitis was the likely source of infection. To our knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral orbital cellulitis following strabismus surgery.
