Ocular infections are common in children, usually appearing as a complication of upper respiratory infections or dental foci, but can also occur secondary to trauma or ocular infections.1 They are classified into preseptal and orbital cellulitis depending on the location of the involvement of the tissues, either in front of or behind the septum. The incidence of orbital cellulitis is 1.6/100,000 in children, compared to 0.1/100,000 in adults. Complications have been described, especially in orbital cellulitis, such as intracranial infections, orbital abscesses, and ophthalmological alterations,2 as in the present clinical case of a 1-year-old and 3-month-old male infant with orbital cellulitis secondary to a traumatic injury to the left eyelid with subsequent neurological and pulmonary complications.
