We present two cases and describe the clinical challenges and treatment strategies employed. We report the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients who developed orbital cellulitis as a complication of an odontogenic infection. Our objective is to report and discuss the clinical aspects and management of this pathology compared to those observed in the literature. This study underscores the necessity for collaboration among various specialties, including ophthalmology, otolaryngology, oral surgery, radiology, and infectious disease, to address the multifaceted challenges posed by this condition. Effective management of orbital abscesses of odontogenic origin requires a timely and multidisciplinary approach for successful outcomes. This article emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and coordinated care to prevent serious complications, such as vision loss or intracranial infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14131391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,1]],"date-time":"2024-07-01T03:38:27Z","timestamp":1719805107000},"page":"1391","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Odontogenic Orbital Cellulitis at the Crossroads of Surgeries: Multidisciplinary Management and Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ruxandra A.","family":"Pirvulescu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1397-8916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor A.","family":"Vasile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Emergency University Hospital, 050098 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihaela O.","family":"Romanitan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Emergency Internal Medicine and Neurology, Stockholm South General Hospital, 11883 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihail","family":"Zemba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oana C.","family":"Ciulei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re University Hospital, 75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Clinical Emergency Hospital Bucharest, 014461 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2802-1877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aida","family":"Geamanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4987-5049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicoleta","family":"Anton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Grigore T Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 700115 Iasi, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matei","family":"Popa Cherecheanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yen, M.T., and Johnson, T.E.
