Subperiosteal Orbita Apselerinin Cerrahi Tedavisi

Abstract

Subperiosteal orbital abscess (SPOA) is a collection of purulent fluid between the periorbita and the bony orbital wall under the periosteum, which usually occurs as a complication of acute sinusitis. It usually originates from ethmoidal sinuses and is a potentially life threatening pathology. In this article, we present three cases who were treated surgically in a multi-disciplined approach, accompanied by a brief literature review. Successful results were obtained in all cases with medical treatment and external orbitotomy combined with or without transnasal endoscopic drainage.
