Infraorbital space infection
Introduction
Introduction to the infection of the infraorbital space Infraorbital space infection refers to acute suppurative infection in the infraorbital space. The main clinical manifestations are redness, increased tension in the infraorbital area, edema of the eyelids, narrowing of the cleft palate, and disappearance of the nasolabial fold. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.04% - 0.06% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: acute cavernous sinus embolic phlebitis
Cause
Cause of infection in the infraorbital space
The infraobital space is located between the anterior wall of the maxilla and the facial expression muscles below the eyelid. The upper boundary is the infraorbital margin, the lower boundary is the maxillary alveolar process, the inner boundary is the nasal margin, and the outside is the boundary of the jaw. There are underarm nerves, blood vessels and axillary lymph nodes that are also worn from underarms. In addition, there are still internal iliac arteries running in the muscles, the veins in front of the veins and the branches of the veins, the infraorbital veins, and the deep veins.
The infection of the infraorbital space is mostly from the apical purulent inflammation or alveolar abscess of the maxillary canine and the first bicuspid or maxillary incisor; in addition, the periosteum can be worn by the pus of the maxillary osteomyelitis, or the bottom and the nasal side of the upper lip The purulent inflammation spreads to the infraorbital space.
Prevention
Infraorbital space infection prevention
Active treatment of apical suppurative inflammation or alveolar abscess in the maxillary canine and the first bicuspid or maxillary incisor; prevention of puncture of the maxillary osteomyelitis through the periosteum, or suppurative inflammation of the base and nasal side of the upper lip Kneeling down the gap.
Complication
Subgingival space infection complications Complications of acute cavernous sinus embolism
The infection of the infraorbital space can be directly spread to the iliac crest, forming a cellulitis in the iliac crest, and can also spread along the facial vein, the internal iliac vein, the ocular vein to the skull, and the cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis.
Symptom
Symptoms of inferior temporal space infection Common symptoms Periorbital edema, eyelid pain, eyelid edema, cleft palate, narrow nasolabial fold
The swelling area of the infraorbital area often affects the internal hemorrhoids, eyelids, ankle skin, swelling of the skin, redness, increased tension, edema of the eyelids, narrowing of the cleft palate, disappearance of the nasolabial fold, and the formation of the abscess after the abscess is formed. Oral vestibular sulcus often has obvious swelling and tenderness, which is easy to fluctuate. A small number can be worn by itself, and there is pus overflow. During the infection period, the swelling and inflammation cause the infraorbital nerve, which can cause different degrees of pain.
The infection of the infraorbital space can be directly spread to the iliac crest, forming a cellulitis in the iliac crest, and can also spread along the facial vein, the internal iliac vein, the ocular vein to the skull, and the cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis.
Examine
Examination of the infection of the infraorbital space
Palpation, visual inspection, combined with laboratory tests and clinical symptoms to make a diagnosis.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic diagnosis of infraorbital space infection
Detailed medical history, combined with clinical manifestations and anatomical features to analyze the source of infection, coupled with laboratory tests, puncture and X-ray examination, etc., is not difficult to make a correct diagnosis.
