Abstrak
Orbital cellulitis is a rare cause of exudative retinal detachment (ERD). We hereby present a case of orbital cellulitis associated with ERD from North India. A 42-year-old man presented with features of orbital cellulitis in the left eye for 3 days. An ERD lesion was found in the superior-temporal quadrant of the retina of the same eye. Investigations were performed; however, the cause of orbital cellulitis could not be found. Systemic antibiotics were started, leading to improved orbital cellulitis and resolution of ERD. Orbital cellulitis can be treated with systemic antibiotics. The cure of underlying disease leads to the resolution of ERD.
