Orbital cellulitis is less common but can affect all age groups, especially in the pediatric population. If it cannot get prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, it will develop several complications, and even death. This literature is to compare previous ten-year series (1991-2000) with recent three-year series (2006-2008) of orbital cellulitis in CGMH and to analyze the demographics, predisposing factors, investigations, and pathogens. Furthermore, we suggest the guidelines of management of orbital cellulitis.
