Overview

Orbital cellulitis must be differentiated from various conditions which affect the eye and present with similar symptoms, and include [disease1],.

Differential Diagnosis

Orbital cellulitis may share common features or present similarly to other eye diseases with significantly varying management protocols. As such, the clinician must carefully consider the patient's history, the presenting signs and symptoms, and cross reference the following differentials:[1][2]

Infectious diseases

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as:

Vascular

Autoimmune/Inflammatory

Structural/Trauma

Toxicity

Neoplastic
