Overview
Orbital cellulitis appears in the literature in a print publication by Dr. Nettleworth in the New York Medical Journal as early as 1882. Hypotheses regarding the etiology and management approaches were developed by various physicians and scientists. In 1937, Dr. Layton reported a review of 54 successfully treated patients, and suggested a management guideline for orbital cellulitis.
Historical Perspective
Orbital cellulitis was first described as a case study in the literature in 1892 by Dr. Holt. He describes the presentation, and the rationale to the management approach which he took with his patient. Additionally, he hypothesized that orbital cellulitis was a result of extension of an adjacent infection. In his work, Dr. Holt references a similar case presentation in print publication by Dr. Nettleship, as early as 1882. [1]In 1935, Dr. Layton outlines a surgical approach to treatment by simple incision, drainage and irrigation of the retro-orbital space.[2] This procedure was confirmed in a 1937 review of 54 cases of orbital cellulitis treated successfully by surgery.[3]
