Orbital cellulitis is a rarely reported sight-threatening complication of sub-Tenon anaesthesia. We report a case of orbital cellulitis in a patient who had received sub-Tenon anaesthesia for routine cataract surgery. We discuss the potential under-reporting of complications of sub-Tenon anaesthesia that had a delayed presentation, and the possible association between the use of hyaluronidase in the anaesthetic mixture and orbital cellulitis following sub-Tenon anaesthesia.
