A 65-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital due to proptosis of the left eye accompanied with ophthalmodynia and toothache for two months. Ophthalmic examination revealed a palpable mass around the lateral orbit and temporal fossa, and maxillofacial CT suggested a malignant tumor invading the left orbital floor wall. One week later, the patient was diagnosed with left orbital cellulitis and septic shock due to peri-orbit redness, eyelid edema, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and a marked increase in peripheral blood neutrophil count. The infection was well controlled after remission of shock, anti-infective therapy and surgical drainage. At 2 months after surgery, the surgical incision of the upper eyelid skin recovered well and the best corrected visual acuity of the left eye was 1.0.
1例65岁患者因左眼球突出伴眼痛、牙痛及咬合困难2个月就诊眼科。眼部检查发现左眼球突出，外侧眶周及颞窝可触及肿块，颌面部CT检查提示左眼眶底壁占位。入院后1周，患者突然出现左眼眶周及额颞部皮肤红肿，伴心慌、胸闷、恶心、呕吐、低血压，外周血中性粒细胞计数和百分比显著升高，诊断为左眼眶蜂窝织炎伴感染性休克。经过纠正休克、抗感染治疗及手术切开排脓引流后，感染控制良好。术后随访2个月，患者左眼矫正视力1.0，左眼上睑皮肤切口愈合良好。.
