    Diagnosing and managing complicated frontal sinusitis is difficult. This study presents cases and discusses using imaging like CT scans to guide antibiotic therapy and surgical timing for better outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Complicated frontal sinusitis presents diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Balancing risks of delayed treatment versus early surgery is crucial.
    • Optimal duration of intravenous antibiotic therapy is often unclear.

    Observation:

    • Presents six cases of frontal sinusitis with intracranial suppuration, osteomyelitis, or bone erosion.
    • Highlights the role of CT, bone, and gallium scans in diagnosing complications.
    • Discusses the timing of antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention based on imaging.

    Findings:

    • Imaging modalities like CT, bone, and gallium scans are vital for assessing complications.
    • These scans aid in determining the appropriate timing for antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention.
