Cellulitis around the orbit of the eye and the preseptal area is not to be confused with orbital cellulitis or postseptal cellulitis, which affects the orbit, can affect the eye, and is a more severe infection. Periorbital cellulitis is confined to the soft tissues that are anterior to the orbital septum.
Subcategory L03. 21, Cellulitis and acute lymphangitis of face, has been expanded to specifically identify periorbital cellulitis (L03. 213).
Preseptal cellulitis is an inflammation of the tissues localized anterior to the orbital septum. The orbital septum is a fibrous tissue that divides the orbit contents in two compartments: preseptal (anterior to the septum) and postseptal (posterior to the septum).
Periorbital cellulitis is an infection of the eyelid and area around the eye; orbital cellulitis is an infection of the eyeball and tissues around it.
Periorbital cellulitis is an infection of the eyelid or skin around the eye. Periorbital cellulitis is an acute infection of the tissues surrounding the eye, which may progress to orbital cellulitis with protrusion of the eyeball.
Preseptal cellulitis is much more common than orbital cellulitis and also presents with eye pain and erythema of the eyelid and surrounding skin and soft tissue.
Preseptal cellulitis can spread to the eye socket and lead to orbital cellulitis if not treated right away.
Orbital cellulitis most commonly occurs when a bacterial infection spreads from the paranasal sinuses into the orbit. In children under the age of 10 years, paranasal sinusitis most often involves the ethmoid sinus which spreads through the thin lamina papyracea of the medial orbital wall into the orbit.
Preseptal cellulitis is treated with oral antibiotics. Traditionally, amoxicillin-clavulanate has been commonly used as a first-line treatment. Third-generation cephalosporins, such as cefpodoxime and cefdinir, are also commonly used.

Periorbital cellulitis is nearly 10 times more common than orbital cellulitis. Your doctor can also distinguish between periorbital cellulitis and other conditions, such as allergic reactions and conjunctivitis (or pink eye), which also have symptoms of swollen, tender, inflamed eyes.
Symptoms and signs of preseptal cellulitis include tenderness, swelling, warmth, redness or discoloration (violaceous in the case of H. influenzae) of the eyelid, and sometimes fever. Patients may be unable to open their eyes because of eyelid swelling.
Preseptal cellulitis is an infection of the eyelid and surrounding tissue anterior to the orbital septum. It is typically unilateral and bacterial in origin, often associated with sinonasal disease. In rare instances, it can extend to postseptal cellulitis or even lead to necrotizing fasciitis [1,2].
Symptoms and signs of preseptal cellulitis include tenderness, swelling, warmth, redness or discoloration (violaceous in the case of H. influenzae) of the eyelid, and sometimes fever. Patients may be unable to open their eyes because of eyelid swelling.
With proper treatment and care, small patches of cellulitis can heal in around five or seven days. However, the healing process is largely influenced by the severity of your cellulitis as well as your current health condition. For example, severe cases of cellulitis can last for multiple weeks despite treatment.
Cellulitis of the eye is an infection of the skin and tissues around the eye. It is also called preseptal cellulitis or periorbital cellulitis. It is usually caused by bacteria. This type of infection may happen after a sinus infection or a dental infection.
Cellulitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. The bacteria can infect the deeper layers of your skin if it's broken, for example, because of an insect bite or cut, or if it's cracked and dry. Sometimes the break in the skin is too small to notice.
congenital malformation of orbit ( Q10.7) Disorders of orbit. Clinical Information.

It is usually caused by haemophilus influenza, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, and beta-hemolytic streptococci. Signs and symptoms include swelling and pain of the eyelids, pain in the eye, painful eye movements, decreased vision, and fever.
injury (trauma ) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) An acute bacterial infectious process that affects the tissues surrounding the eye, including the eyelids, the eyebrow, and the cheek tissues. It is usually caused by haemophilus influenza, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, and beta-hemolytic streptococci.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H05.01 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Inflammation of the loose connective tissues around the orbit, bony structure around the eyeball. It is characterized by pain; edema of the conjunctiva; swelling of the eyelids; exophthalmos; limited eye movement; and loss of vision. Code History.
H05.011 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cellulitis of right orbit. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Orbital cellulitis is inflammation of eye tissues behind the orbital septum. It most commonly refers to an acute spread of infection into the eye socket from either the adjacent sinuses or through the blood. When it affects the rear of the eye, it is known as retro-orbital cellulitis. Specialty:
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H05.011 and a single ICD9 code, 376.01 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
