Abstract

A large epidural abscess secondary to frontal sinusitis in a previously healthy 19-year-old man was successfully treated with a small eyebrow incision using combined transfrontal and endonasal endoscopic technique. The abscess was resolved with concomitant pneumatization of the paranasal sinuses. The present case illustrates the promising use of endoscopy in the merging fields of neurosurgery and otorhinolaryngology.
