Abstract: Acute sinusitis is a common inflammatory reaction disease of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa, which can extend to adjacent tissues or organs, such as the orbit and intracranial regions. Children often experience sinusitis, which is affected by anatomical and functional dysplasia of the sinuses and is prone to complications. The main complication is orbital cellulitis; however, additional intracranial complications can occur if treatment is not administered in a timely manner. When conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment should be pursued. The present study retrospectively analyzed clinical data from a patient with orbital cellulitis complicated by intracranial infection caused by acute sinusitis, followed by a review of the relevant literature aimed at deepening understanding of this disease.

Key words: Sinusitis, Child, Intracranial complication, Intraorbital complication, Functional endoscopic sinus surgery
