Abstract

Bilateral recurrent periorbital cellulitis is a very rare condition, with only five cases having been reported. Two cases are presented of recurrent bilateral asynchronous eyelid oedema in two paediatric patients. It was associated with respiratory infections, with no systemic disease. The patients had recurrent episodes (three times) since nine months old. They received oral and intravenous antibiotics, with a good response. There were no complications and no surgery was needed.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)
