title: Papilloedema secondary to acute purulent sinusitis.
abstract: Upper respiratory tract infections and sinusitis are common, but intracranial complications of sinusitis are rare in children and are often clinically unremarkable. Papilloedema secondary to purulent sinusitis is a complication previously not reported. We report two cases to highlight atypical manifestations of sinusitis in children.
