Today I review, link to, and excerpt from PedsCases‘ Approach to Pediatric Periorbital Edema.
Note to myself and my readers: If you’ve purchased the twenty-third edition (2024) Harriet Lane Handbook, you recieved a free online e-book that you can sign in to at http://ebooks.health.elsevier.com/. And if you care for pediatric patients you should buy this book. See See pp. 462t – 476t for orbital cellulitis. p. 690 for imaging.
All that follows is from the above resource.

This Podcast will discuss an approach to pediatric periorbital edema. In this episode, listeners will determine the key differential diagnoses for the presentation of periorbital edema and learn an approach to the history, physical exam, and diagnostic studies used. Key points that differentiate periorbital cellulitis from orbital cellulitis the management of each will also be discussed. This podcast was written by Monique Jarrett, a medical student at the University of Alberta, in collaboration with Dr. Melanie Lewis, a Pediatrician and Professor at the University of Alberta, and Dr. Catherine Morgan a Pediatric Nephrologist and Associate Professor at the University of Alberta.
