Spread of infection from paranasal sinuses can cause severe eye or brain issues. Endoscopic sinus surgery combined with antibiotics successfully treated four patients with these serious complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Paranasal sinus infections rarely spread but can lead to severe orbital or intracranial complications.
  • Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for managing these uncommon but serious conditions.

Observation:

  • This study presents four patients with severe complications arising from paranasal sinus infections.
  • Three patients experienced orbital complications, while one developed an intracranial abscess.

Findings:

  • All four patients were successfully treated using endoscopic sinus surgery and antibiotic therapy.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery offers a minimally invasive approach for managing these complex cases.

Implications:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery represents a potentially advantageous treatment option for ocular and intracranial complications of sinusitis.
  • This approach may reduce morbidity and improve outcomes for patients with severe sinus infection spread.
