Given the copious purulent drainage from the canthotomy
site and the severe facial soft tissue swelling, the
patient was urgently taken to the operating department by the
orbital and ENT services for aggressive incision and
drainage. The following procedures
were performed:
- medial and lateral orbitotomy,
- frontal sinus
trephination,
- left maxillary
antrostomy,
- right nasal polypectomy,
and
- periorbital biopsy
with drain placement.
Copious amounts of purulence were
expressed from the soft tissues of the left side of the face.
