    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Frontal sinusitis with frontal osteomyelitis can be life-threatening, often masked by antibiotics. Early diagnosis and neurosurgical intervention are crucial for managing severe complications like brain abscesses.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Frontal sinusitis with frontal osteomyelitis presents a significant risk, often complicated by delayed diagnosis due to antibiotic masking or low clinical suspicion.
    • Effective management necessitates collaboration between otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons, particularly when frontal sinus infections lead to intracranial complications.

    Observation:

    • Four cases illustrate severe complications of frontal sinus infections, including epidural and subdural empyemas.
    • One case involved a subdural empyema with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis and multiple brain abscesses, highlighting the potential severity.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention via frontal craniotomy revealed posterior dehiscences in the frontal sinus posterior plate in all cases.
    • These dehiscences likely facilitated the intracranial spread of infection.

    Implications:

    • Aggressive surgical management and prolonged follow-up are essential for patients with frontal osteomyelitis.
    • Multimodal imaging (CT, polytomography, bone/gallium scans) and long-term monitoring (20+ years) are critical for assessing treatment efficacy and preventing recurrence.
