Recurrent Periorbital Cellulitis Secondary to Cyclic Neutropenia

To present a 1-year-old boy with cyclic neutropenia who presented with multiple episodes of periorbital cellulitis (POC).

The child presented with three episodes of POC. In the second episode, the cellulitis was associated with nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and in the third episode, a pansinusitis was noted. He underwent a thorough systemic evaluation.

Patient’s evaluation revealed the diagnosis of cyclic neutropenia.

This report emphasizes the possibility of an underlying immunodeficiency with recurrent POC, even in an apparently healthy child.
