Orbital cellulitis protocol, ENT department

exp date isn't null, but text field is

Objectives

The differentiation between preseptal and deep orbital cellulitis is difficult based on clinical observation, and clinical presentation may not always reflect underlying disease severity. Subtle pathology may evolve into severe pathology quickly. 

This protocol is for use by clinicians and is based on best practice at RHC Glasgow.
