The mean age was 4,55\u00b13,64 years old. Five of our patients had anemia, six had allergic rhinitis, and one had asthma. Two other patients had undergone recent dental care. Palpebral edema and fever were the most frequently reported symptoms. A palpebral abscess was present in five cases, while nineteen cases exhibited exophthalmos. Seven children had limited occulomotricity, and one child had ophthalmoplegia.In addition, reduced visual acuity was reported in 3 cases. Referring to Chandler\u2019s stratification, we report 37 cases of preseptal cellulitis, 10 cases of orbital cellulitis and, 31 cases of subperiosteal abscess. Eleven patients required surgical treatment consisting of orbitotomy. Age equal to or above 5 years old was more associated with surgical treatment (p&lt;0.001). The outcome was generally favorable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Orbital complications of acute ethmoiditis are a low-prevalence high risk disease.
