Abstract

Extraocular infections in the pediatric population commonly present to the emergency room. Their clinical presentations and severities differ depending on the anatomical structures affected and etiology of the infectious process. It is important for providers to be knowledgeable about these conditions in order to avoid potential complications. In this chapter, we will review relevant anatomy, clinical presentation, work-up, and medical/surgical management of the most common infections of the ocular adnexa in the pediatric population: hordeolum, molluscum contagiosum, dacryoadenitis, preseptal cellulitis, and orbital cellulitis.
