Extractions: It consists of a subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. Patients present with a tender doughy soft tissue swelling that causes pitting edema over the frontal bone. Intracranial complications such as epidural abscess, subdural empyema, meningitis , cerebral abscess, and dural-vein thrombophlebitis may also occur. Treatment consists of surgical drainage of the abscess and the frontal sinus and 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy directed at the isolated organisms. Trephination is carried out in the floor of the sinus. A drain placed through the trephine allows the drainage of sinus contents and can be used to irrigate with antibiotic solutions.

Giannoni, M.D. Orbital complications Sinonasal disease accounts for the majority of orbital infections (up to 85%). Ethmoid sinuses are almost always implicated in orbital disease; maxillary and frontal sinuses may also be involved. Spread may be direct with erosion of the lamina or through a prior fracture or by thrombophlebitic spread into the orbit. Orbital complications as staged by Chandler (1970) are: preseptal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis, subperiosteal abscess, orbital abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis (dural thrombophlebitis). Preseptal cellulitis is an inflammation and infection of the eyelids, outside the orbital septum. Orbital cellulitis is a diffuse infiltration of bacteria and inflammatory cells in the orbit. A subperiosteal abscess is a collection of pus between the periorbita and the bony orbit walls. Orbital abscess refers to a discrete collection of pus within the orbital tissues; systemic symptoms are common and orbital apex syndrome may occur. Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a late stage and highly morbid disease. Infection is spread posteriorly through the venous channels; patients have proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, decreased visual acuity, paplliedema, dilated pupil, mental status decline, and superior orbital fissure syndrome; bilateral symptoms herald this entity.

Extractions: These two cuts from his CT scan series show multiple 2-3 cm diameter loculated cystic lesions consistent with multiple abscesses (dark areas with rims of enhancement). There is distention of the posterior fossa with a midline shift toward the right. There is no sign of cribiform fracture or mastoiditis. He is admitted to the intensive care unit where infectious disease and neurosurgical consultations are obtained. His initial work-up includes a CBC and chemistry. A chest radiograph and an abdominal radiograph are performed to look for signs of other abscesses.

ABSTRACT: The history of a 4-week-old infant with meningitis and multiple cerebral abscesses caused by Salmonella enteritidis is reported. Management included successful treatment with a prolonged course of antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, neurosurgical drainage and long-term immunoglobulin supplements. No adverse effects of joint toxicity were detected. SOURCE: Int J Antimicrob Agents 1999 Oct;13(2):131-2

Extractions: Antimicrobials are given, initially through a vein, then by mouth. Between 2 and 6 weeks of medication are usually required. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the most common antimicrobial prescribed. Multiple medications may be used together. Antifungal medications (or antiviral medications) may also be prescribed if fungal or viral infection is likely. Osmotic diuretics such as urea or mannitol are used to reduce swelling of the brain. If mannitol is used, then one should consider surgery to evacuate the lesion and reduce the mass effect. Corticosteroids such as dexamethasone also might be used to reduce brain swelling, but their use is very controversial.
