Abstract

A 71-year-old diabetic patient was admitted urgently with right acute rhinosinusitis and swollen upper eyelid. He had a 10-day history of coryzal symptoms, nasal discharge, facial pain and nasal obstruction which was initially treated conservatively. As his symptoms started deteriorating, his upper eyelid started swelling up. A CT scan showed opacification of the right maxillary sinus, ethmoids, frontal sinus and erosion of the posterior table. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and topical nasal decongestants. After being reviewed by the ophthalmologists, a decision was made for surgical drainage. He underwent endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy, ethmoidectomy and opening of frontal recess. He had an uneventful recovery and after 6 weeks he had definitive treatment with revision ESS and combined approach frontal sinus surgery.
