Two Cases of Orbital Abscess.

2002 
We report two cases of orbital abscess. Case 1 was a 16-year-old male who presented with right orbital pain and general malaise. Case 2 was a 43-year-old male who presented with swelling of the right eyelid. CT scans revealed orbital abscess and sinusitis. Both patients were treated with surgical drainage, antibiotics and endonasal operation, and both recovered without any complications. The clinical courses in our patients are reported and we also discuss the infectious route, diagnosis, treatment and causing bacteria based on reports in the literature.
