Abstract
Six surgically treated patients with orbital complications caused by acute sinusitis were analyzed. Three presented with orbital abscess, and three presented with orbital subperiosteal abscess. In all cases, the removal of the orbital plate was performed, and, in addition, patients with orbital abscess underwent incision of the periorbita. After surgery, all patients fully recovered from visual disturbances, except for one whose surgery was delayed for 28 days after the orbital symptoms had appeared. Since both the removal of the orbital plate and incision of the periorbita do not involve postoperative complications, these procedures should be performed at an early stage if necessary for the improvement of the visual function.
