Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is a common condition seen by ophthalmologists. But first time presentation of orbital cellulitis & proptosis because of undiagnosed uncontrolled diabetes and the patient being unaware of diabetes is a rare occurrence. This condition in uncontrolled diabetic patients can lead to serious morbidity and CNS complications. This article presents the importance of screening of ophthal patients above 40years, which can help in decreasing the rate of complications seen in undiagnosed diabetic patients by ophthalmologists.
