case_images: A CT of the orbits without contrast demonstrated periorbital soft tissue swelling with abnormal soft tissue density material in the lateral extraconal space without evidence of maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinusitis (Figure 1). Complete blood count and inflammatory markers including c-reactive protein and d-dimer were trended throughout hospitalization (Figure 1). Hospitalization was prolonged to a total of eight days due to persistent twice daily fever spikes (Figure 1).
