What is Orbital Cellulitis – 10 Facts to Know

Complications

Some common complications include hearing loss, vision loss, sepsis or blood infection, intracranial abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, or meningitis.

Also, they are often at a higher risk of developing complications because bacteria can penetrate and spread more easily. [9]
