Orbital and intracranial complications of acute sinusitis.
This article addresses the imaging considerations for subtle early studies of imaging findings in sinusitis, focusing on early detection by the radiologist, which depend on dedicated imaging protocols and a careful, thorough search pattern. Pathogenesis and key imaging findings for orbital complications are discussed, followed by the intracranial complications of sinusitis.
