N2 - Purpose: To describe two cases of orbital abscess in neonates and to review the literature of orbital cellulitis in neonates. Design: Two interventional case reports. Methods: Photographs, orbital computed tomography scans, and full pediatric examination were obtained in two cases of orbital abscess in neonates. Results: Acute ethmoiditis with orbital abscess formation was found in both infants. In one of them, Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the source of infection. Conclusions: The clinical findings of our cases concur with the literature (eight cases) indicating that orbital abscess caused by Staphylococcal ethmoiditis is the most common form of orbital cellulitis in neonates.
