A small number of cases is characterized by complications such as eyelid oedema, orbital cellulitis, orbital abscess or intracranial complications, which may prove hazardous to the health or life of a patient.
Watchfulness and mindfulness of complications facilitate the diagnosis and implementation of appropriate treatment.
