Orbital SeptumOrbital Septum
Key to understanding the difference Key to understanding the difference between between periorbitalperiorbital and orbital and orbital cellulitiscellulitisImpervious barrier to spread of infection Impervious barrier to spread of infection to the orbitto the orbitInfection anterior to orbital septum = Infection anterior to orbital septum = PreseptalPreseptal or or PeriorbitalPeriorbital cellulitiscellulitisInfection posterior to orbital septum = Infection posterior to orbital septum = PostseptalPostseptal or Orbital or Orbital cellulitiscellulitis
PreseptalPreseptal CellulitisCellulitis
Infection does not respect the orbital septum Infection does not respect the orbital septum because it is anterior to this structure and runs because it is anterior to this structure and runs freely above or below the orbital rimfreely above or below the orbital rimInfection occurs in 3 settings:Infection occurs in 3 settings:–– Secondary to localized infection or inflammationSecondary to localized infection or inflammation–– Secondary to Secondary to hematogenoushematogenous dissemination of dissemination of
nasopharyngeal pathogens to the nasopharyngeal pathogens to the periorbitalperiorbital tissuetissue–– Manifestation of inflammatory edema in acute Manifestation of inflammatory edema in acute
