Overview
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from various conditions which affect the eye and present with similar symptoms, and include periorbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, and neoplasia.
Differential Diagnosis
Orbital cellulitis may share common features or present similarly to other eye diseases with significantly varying management protocols. Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from the following:[1][2]
Infectious diseases
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause erythema, fever, and edema, such as:
- Periorbital cellulitis
- Endophthalmitis
- Severe conjunctivitis
- Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus
- Posterior Scleritis
- Mucormycosis,
- Aspergillosis of the globe
- M.tuberculosis of the globe
Vascular
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause proptosis, edema, and visual disturbance, such as:
Autoimmune/Inflammatory
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause inflammation, proptosis, and visual disturbance, such as:
- Exophthalmos
- Wegener's granulomatosis
- Sarcoidosis granuloma
- Orbital pseudotumor
Structural/Trauma
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause edema, visual disturbance, and proptosis, such as:
Toxicity
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause proptosis such as:
- Bisphosphonate use
Neoplastic
Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause erythema, edema, fever, visual disturbance, and proptosis, such as:
- Metastatic carcinoma
- Neurofibroma
- Schwannoma
- Glioma
- Retinoblastoma
- Rhabdomyosarcoma
- Neuroblastoma
- Lymphoma
- Leukemia
- Histiocytosis
