[Intracranial complications of sinusitis].
A rare case of cerebral abscess is presented. Sinusitis was identified as a predisposing factor. Rhinogenous endocranial complications are almost ten times less frequent than the otogenous ones. Despite great progress in the treatment of infections of different localizations, the lethality from cerebral abscess has remained relatively high ranging between 30 and 60%. We report on one of our patients and give a critical review of the contemporary diagnostic and therapeutical possibilities in the treatment of cerebral abscess. The case is interesting since brain abscess has been completely cured inoperatively. Although the treatment of cerebral abscess has been considerably improved, this remains one of the most severe diseases, requiring further improvement of diagnostic and therapeutical methods.
