ABSTRACT
Orbital cellulitis is a condition with a high risk of morbidity, including visual loss. It commonly originates from the paranasal sinuses. We present a case of multifocal intraorbital abscesses secondary to viral sinusitis in an adolescent with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This patient presented with classic symptoms of orbital cellulitis, but did not display classical symptoms of COVID-19. The patient initially underwent endoscopic drainage, followed by a combined approach which yielded no pus. He recovered without complication. This is the second report of its type showing a causative link between SARS-CoV-2 and orbital cellulitis.
