More Details: Orbital cellulitis is an extremely rare but potentially lethal condition in neonates. The clinical presentation of neonatal orbital cellulitis can be non-specific, and minimal signs of periorbital inflammation may go unrecognised by inexperienced parents or primary care medical personnel, leading to delayed treatment. Herein, we present a case series describing ophthalmia neonatorum complicated with neonatal orbital cellulitis owing to delayed treatment. The clinical presentation, management and outcomes are described. One neonate had orbital cellulitis, while the other had impending orbital cellulitis, with both cases resulting from delayed treatment of ophthalmia neonatorum. Both neonates were hospitalised for systemic antibiotic treatment and fully recovered with good outcomes. Timely identification and treatment of ophthalmia neonatorum are critical to mitigate potential severe sequelae, such as neonatal orbital cellulitis.
