We report a rare case of bilateral paediatric sinus related orbital infection (SROI) in a toddler who initially presented with unilateral lid oedema, worsening bilaterally in spite of parenteral antibiotics requiring multiple surgical interventions. Challenges in management of life threatening intracranial sequelae of SROIs including visual loss are discussed.
