Abstract

Orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues around the eye. It can cause ischemic optic neuropathy and central retinal artery occlusion due to compression of the optic nerve by swelling in the orbit. It requires emergency treatment due to the high risk of blindness. The majority of cases are caused by infection from festering lesions in adjacent tissues, such as sinusitis, and blood-borne infection from a remote site is rare. In this report, we present a rare case of orbital cellulitis with bacteremia caused by oral Streptococcus pyogenes in a patient with 8┘ periapical edentulism.

一例由口腔化脓性链球菌引起的菌血症导致的眼眶蜂窝织炎病例
眼眶蜂窝织炎是眼眶周围软组织的感染。由于眼眶肿胀压迫视神经,可导致缺血性视神经病变和视网膜中央动脉闭塞。由于失明的风险很高,因此需要紧急治疗。大多数病例是由邻近组织的溃疡性病变(如鼻窦炎)感染引起的,来自远处的血源性感染非常罕见。在本报告中,我们介绍了一例由口腔化脓性链球菌引起的眼眶蜂窝织炎伴菌血症的罕见病例,患者患有 8‰根尖周炎。
