    Acute frontal sinusitis can lead to serious intracranial complications, even with modern treatments. Prompt diagnosis and complete therapy are crucial to prevent severe outcomes like epidural abscesses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Acute frontal sinusitis incidence has declined due to advances in antimicrobial and surgical treatments.
    • Despite decreased rates, intracranial complications remain a concern for healthcare providers.

    Observation:

    • This article presents a case of a chronic epidural abscess following insufficient treatment for acute frontal sinusitis.
    • It highlights the importance of physician vigilance for signs of intracranial spread.

    Findings:

    • Inadequate therapy for acute frontal sinusitis can result in severe intracranial complications, such as epidural abscesses.
    • Understanding the presentation and predisposing factors is key to managing these complications.

    Implications:
