Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is a serious, yet uncommon infection in
neonates. It can result in significant sight and life threatening
complications. Most commonly, it occurs secondarily as the
result of a spread of infection from the sinuses. Orbital cellulitis,
secondary to dental infection is rare. We hereby report a case of
orbital cellulitis secondary to dental infection in a 15‑day‑old
neonate without any systemic features.
