Abstract :
Retrobulbar abscess is a pocket of infection/ pus behind the eye. This infection can result from an infection of the mouth, teeth, sinuses or from systemic infections. This abscess can subsequently lead to proptosis. This infection can spread intracranially and lead to death. Hence it is important to diagnose retrobulbar abscess early and initiate prompt treatment. Retrobulbar abscess in a neonate is an extremely rare condition. Only 3 to 4 cases of retrobulbar abscess due to ethmoiditis or dacrocyctitis have been reported from all over the world till now. There has been no reported case of congenital retrobulbar abscess from India. A rare case of congenital retrobulbar abscess in a 17 day old baby is reported here.
