Abstract:
Acute sinusitis is a prevalent and generally uncomplicated infection that is normally resolved by medical therapy. However, severe neurological complications are known, and comprise of cerebral abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, and epidural or subdural empyema. We report a case about a 10-year-old girl with a severe acute pansinusitis and ischemic stroke in the right lentiform nucleus and the anterior part of the right internal capsule. Possible explanations for this rare combination are discussed.
