Orbital complications secondary to acute sinusitis are rare in children. They include preseptal cellulitis; an orbital subperiosteal abscess (OSA); an orbital abscess (OA), which may cause deterioration of visual acuity and restriction of globe motility; and finally, a life-threatening cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, and/or a brain abscess. Orbital CT scan is the most accurate tool in the work-up of orbital complications.
