In addition, pretreatment of OFs with thiophenecarboxamide (TPCA-1) inhibits retinoid-induced MCP-1 induction, suggesting an NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells)–dependent mechanism. We performed retinoic acid treatment on both normal and TED patient–derived orbital fibroblasts (OFs) followed by mRNA and protein isolation, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, RNA sequencing, and Western blot analyses.īoth normal and TED patient–derived OFs display robust induction of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) upon retinoid treatment TED OFs secrete significantly more MCP-1 than normal OFs. Whereas the pathology of both TED and GD is driven by autoantibodies, it is unclear why symptoms manifest specifically in the orbit. The most prevalent of these conditions, thyroid eye disease (TED), occurs in up to 50% of patients with Graves’ disease (GD). MRSA is increasingly a consideration.The orbit displays unique vulnerability to inflammatory conditions. Haemophilus is no longer the leading cause of orbital cellulitis.In immunocompromised patients, mucormycosis and aspergillosis should be considered as a cause of orbital cellulitis ( 4).Rare cases of orbital cellulitis caused by non–spore-forming anaerobes, Eikenella corrodens, Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( 3).Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus anginosus.Blood cultures typically do not grow an organism.

In over 1/3 of cases, no pathogen is recovered. Cultures of surgical specimens in adults often grow multiple organisms.

Cellulitis in the closed bony orbit causes proptosis, globe displacement, orbital apex syndrome (mass effect on the cranial nerves), optic nerve compression, and vision loss.

The orbital septum is a connective tissue barrier that extends from the skull into the lid and separates the preseptal from the orbital space.

The ethmoid sinus is separated from the orbit by the lamina papyracea (“layer of paper”), a thin bony separation, and is often the source of contiguous spread of infection to the orbit.

Local skin conditions surrounding the eyelids and lashes are typically associated with preseptal cellulitis.

Sinusitis is classically associated with orbital cellulitis.
