Multicentre review reveals common symptoms and microbiological features in patients with orbital abscess secondary to acute dacryocystitis.

MAIN FINDING: Orbital abscesses often arise from acute dacryocystitis, with a median patient age of 56.
KEY EVIDENCE: Common symptoms included restriction of eye movement (75%) and proptosis (62.5%) in affected patients.
APPROACH: A retrospective analysis of eight cases highlighted clinical, radiological, and microbiological outcomes.
SIGNIFICANCE: Early identification and management of orbital involvement may prevent irreversible visual loss in affected individuals.

Herrera et al. (2025) studied this question.
