Bilateral osteomyelitis of the frontal sinus, a rare frontal sinusitis complication, requires prompt surgical and antibiotic treatment to prevent severe intracranial issues. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Frontal sinusitis can rarely lead to bilateral osteomyelitis, a serious condition.
  • Progression risks include subperiosteal, epidural, subdural, or brain abscesses, posing life-threatening complications.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with worsening headache and facial swelling due to frontal sinusitis.
  • Examination revealed deviated septum, nasal polyposis, and CT confirmed widespread sinus obstruction and bilateral frontal bone osteolysis/osteosclerosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention via the Unterberger approach removed infected bone.
  • Combined antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement were administered.

Implications:
