  Bacterial orbital cellulitis is a rare entity in adults. Very few literature mentions about bilaterality of infection. Acute bacterial sinusitis being the most common cause of Orbital cellulitis. The aim of this study is to highlight the need for early and prompt treatment to prevent ophthalmoplegia and blindness. A 36 year old male presented with bilateral eye swelling, pain, diplopia along with diminution of vision. CECT scan of paranasal sinus revealed bilateral eye axial proptosis. Patient underwent surgical drainage and Endoscopic decompression of both the orbits were done. Patient improved after surgery.
