Diagnosis and treatment of subperiosteal orbital abscess].

Subperiosteal orbital abscess is a complication of acute bacterial sinusitis. In this review, we summarise the theoretical background and highlight the importance of a fast diagnostic workup. The treatment of acute sinusitis with involvement of an eye is antibiotic therapy and daily evaluation by both an ophtalmologist and a rhinologist. In case of clinical stagnation and/or formation of an abscess, surgery is the treatment of choice.
