A Rare Case of Nasal Vestibulitis Complicating As Bilateral Preseptal Cellulitis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Nasal vestibulitis (nasal furunculosis) is a localized infection of the hair follicle (hair-bearing nasal vestibule). Most common pathogens include staphylococcus aureus, other gram positive organisms and anaerobes1 . Infection in this area can spread locally even intra cranially and causing fulminant life-threatening conditions like septic cavernous sinus thrombosis2 . Here we report a case of 4yr old female presented with the history of high grade fever and right side nasal furuncle since 4 days, together with a rare association of bilateral periorbital (preseptal) swelling since one day. The child was hospitalized. Laboratory and radiological investigations were carried out to investigate any possible complications.
