Journal Title: Otolaryngology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To review the literature comparing management of extradural and subdural complications of acute sinusitis and the role of the rhinologist in managing these complications. Patient Population: Adult and pediatric patients presenting with acute sinusitis complicated by brain abscesses. Intervention: Role of Endosopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) in managing patients with sinusitis complicated by brain abscesses. Methods: Papers from 1960-2015 discussing subdural and extradural complications of acute sinusitis and the role of sinus surgery. Conclusions: The results suggest an aggressive approach to sinusitis complicated by subdural collections with a select role for conservative management in treatment of extradural collections.
