Overview
Orbital cellulitis may be classified by various features of the disease. In 1970, Chandler's classification was created to describe five groups of complications of sinusitis by invading the surrounding tissue.[1]. Alternative ways of classifying the disease is by the microbial family of the offending pathogen (Bacterial vs. Fungal), or by the management protocol (Medical vs. Surgical therapy).
