[Orbital and intracranial complications of rhinosinusitis]
Abstract:
Rhinogenic orbital and intracranial complications occur in 0.8 and 0.01% of patients with rhinosinusitis, respectively. The author recognizes 9 and 8 forms of rhinogenic orbital and intracranial complications, respectively. Conservative treatment is preferable in non-purulent orbital and intracranial complications resultant from acute inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. In the above complications taking place in chronic paranasal inflammation it is valid to conduct a sanitizing operation on the paranasal sinuses. Purulent intracranial and orbital complications dictate the necessity of major surgical treatment of the affected paranasal sinuses and intracranial focus in active antibacterial, dehydration, desensitizing and strengthening therapy. Prognosis of the orbital and intracranial complications at present is more favourable.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
