  • Title: Meningitis and epidural abscess related to pansinusitis.
    Author: Mittal MK, Zimmerman RA.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2009 Apr; 25(4):267-8. PubMed ID: 19369843.
    Abstract:
    Sinusitis can rarely be latent and present directly with intracranial complications. We present the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with typical features of meningitis. She underwent neuroimaging because of slow improvement and concern for a brain abscess. Despite no history or examination findings suggestive of sinusitis, she was found to have pansinusitis with intracranial extension causing meningitis and epidural abscess.
