ABSTRACT
The orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues located behind of the orbital setum. It is presented as a complication of an acute sinusitis although it can appear as consequence of other infectious processes. We present a series of 20 cases diagnosed and treated in our center of orbital cellulitis. We expose the diagnostic criteria that we have followed, as well as the complementary tests used and the different treatments both medical and surgical.

The esthesioneuroblastoma is a very uncommon malignant growth arising from olfactory epithelium. Almost 400 cases have been published since its was first described. Owing to the meager figures of these series is not possible to drawn out conclusions in order to establish an unique protocol of treatment for this tumoral type. We present 2 cases diagnosed in our Department, each diversely treated and comment the results.
