Abstract
Despite the widespread use of antibiotics in cases of sinusitis, still some complications may occur. Periorbital cellulitis is a clinical condition that usually seen in childhood and inflammation occurs in ethmoid sinuses causing eyelid edema, hyperemia and ocular pain, but seeing is generally unaffected, and rarely it is accompanied by the abscess. Our case was adult male patient and periorbital cellulitis was present caused by a defect in the frontal sinus. This is the difference from other cases. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was present at 3 years ago in history of the patient who had no history of trauma. It has been detected in 'thin-section CT that periorbital cellulites of our patient caused by the defect in the wall of the frontal sinus in the course of acute sinusitis and then, abscess formation occurred. Parenteral antibiotic therapy was given to the patient who was hospitalized. On the 5th day of treatment, the patient's clinical improvement was observed. Frontoetmoidal medial orbitotomy (Lynch) incision was made to the patient in operation and the defect was found to be approximately 2-3 mm in diameter in the anterior wall of the frontal sinus and it was repaired with bone cement. Ethiopathogenesis of this type of defect may be mukopiyosel, trauma etc. as well as iatrogenic trauma. In this case, we offer an atypical case of periorbital cellulitis caused by the defect in the anterior wall of the frontal sinus in acute sinusitis attacks discussing in the light of literature

Akut sinüzit atağında frontal sinüs ön duvarındaki defekte bağlı olarak gelişen periorbital selülit: Olgu sunumu
Abstract
Sinüzit olgularında antibiyoterapi yaygın olarak kullanılmasına rağmen hala bir takım
komplikasyonlar görülebilmektedir. Periorbital selülit daha çok çocukluk döneminde ve etmoid
sinüslerin enflamasyonu ile ortaya çıkan göz kapağında ödem, hiperemi ve oküler ağrının hakim
olduğu fakat görmenin etkilenmediği, nadirende apsenin eşlik ettiği bir klinik durumdur. Bizim
olgumuz erişkin erkek hasta idi ve frontal sinüsteki defektten kaynaklanan periorbital selüliti
mevcuttu. Bu hali ile diğer olgulardan farklılık gösteriyordu. Anamnezinde üç yıl önce fonksiyonel
endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi geçirdiğini belirten hastanın travma öyküsü bulunmuyordu. Hastamızda
periorbital selilüte neden olan durumun akut sinüzit seyrinde frontal sinüs duvarındaki defekten
meydana geldiği ve apse formasyonuna yol açtığını ‘ince kesit tomografi’ ile tespit edildi. Servise
yatırılan hastaya, parenteral antibiyoterapi başlandı. Hastanın klinik tablosunun tedavinin 5.
gününde düzeldiği görüldü. Operasyona alınan hastaya yapılan frontoetmoidal medial orbitotomi
(Lynch) insizyonu sonrası frontal sinüs ön duvarındaki defektinin yaklaşık 2-3 mm çapında olduğu
görüldü ve bonecement ile onarıldı. Bu tür defektlerde, etiyopatogenezde mukopiyosel, travma vs.
olabileceği gibi iatrojenik travmalar da olabilir. Bu olguda akut sinüzit atağında frontal sinüs ön
duvarındaki defektten meydana gelen atipik bir periorbital selülit olgusunu literatür eşliğinde
tartışarak sunuyoruz.
