Abstract

Invasive fungal orbital cellulitis, such as mucormycosis and aspergillosis, is a challenging though uncommon cause of orbital cellulitis. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are common, as early signs and symptoms may be subtle and may mimic bacterial orbital cellulitis. In patients with an unusual orbital presentation or who fail to respond to standard therapy for orbital cellulitis, identifying characteristic predisposing factors and having a high index of clinical suspicion for fungal orbital cellulitis are necessary for achieving good clinical outcomes and minimizing potential vision and life-threatening complications.
