Orbital abscess following sphenopalatine and anterior ethmoidal artery ligation for recurrent epistaxis.

Peter James Glasman, Sachin Salvi

Abstract


Orbital abscess is a rare but potentially blinding condition which has not previously been reported following endoscopic sinus surgery. We report such an abscess which was successfully treated with surgical intervention and suggest that remedial measures may be advisable if a breach into the orbit is noted intra-operatively.
