title: [Intracranial and cranial complications of paranasal sinusitis. Report of 4 cases at the Lomé University Hospital Center].
abstract: The complications of paranasal sinusitis are rare (only 4 cases have been observed during 5 years). The acute frontal sinusitis is the most frequent cause. The diagnosis of the frontal osteitis and the extradural abscess is made during the course of the surgical intervention. An antibiotherapy combining an ampicillin and a gentamicin is used. The treatment of the complication and the causative sinusitis is a guarantee of recovery.
