Overview

Historical Perspective

Orbital cellulitis was first described as a case study in the literature in 1892 by Dr. Holt. He describes the presentation, and management approach which he took with his patient, as well as the hypothesis that it was a result of extension of an adjacent infection. In his work, Dr. Holt references a similar case presentation in print publication by Dr. Nettleship, as early as 1882. [1]In 1935, Dr. Layton outlines a surgical approach to treatment by simple incision, drainage and irrigation of the retro-orbital space.[2] This procedure was confirmed in a 1937 review of 54 cases of orbital cellulitis treated successfully by surgery.[3]
