We present a case of "orbital abscess"--uncommon and severe complication of "orbital cellulitis"--in a 2 year-old female, and we consider about the etiology and pathogenesis of this process. The treatment of "orbital cellulitis" requires adequate parenteral antibiotic therapy and judicious surgical intervention, which should be planned with the results of computerized tomography in mind.
