This document presents a case report of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with loss of vision and pain in the right eye, swelling of the right orbit, and restriction of eye movements. MRI findings showed orbital cellulitis and abscess in the right orbit. The patient was diabetic and hypertensive but not being treated. He was started on intravenous and topical antibiotics, antifungals, and medications to control his diabetes and hypertension. Due to worsening symptoms including fever and vomiting, he was transferred to the medicine department where he continued the same treatment and was evaluated for possible cavernous sinus thrombosis.
