MRSA Community acquired – Increased potential for tissue invasion – Found in young athletes and inmates – Progresses despite appropriate treatment

Case Review Day 1: 44 yr old male squeezed a pustule in his nose Day 3: fever and chills developed, treated with TMP/SMX DS and Rifampin Day 4: Admitted for eyelid swelling, WBC 24,000.Rx- Vancomycin + Ceftriaxone + Metronidazole Day 5: Massive proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, bilateral vision loss

Findings Pupils unreactive, central retinal arteries and veins occluded Congestion of optic discs Orbital and brain MRI –bilateral orbital cellulitis, pansinusitis, cavernous sinus enlargement MR venogram confirmed cavernous sinus thrombosis

Hospital course Paranasal sinuses drained endoscopically Day 13: iv heparin and methylprednisolone In retrospect, may have benefited from orbital decompression sooner

Team Approach History very important in determining the most likely organism. Culture may be difficult. Frequent re-evaluations are necessary. Imaging studies are very helpful in diagnosis and monitoring treatment. Serious problem can result in death. HEADS UP
