Upper respiratory infections can be complicated by acute bacterial sinusitis in pediatric patients, and usually resolve with antibiotic therapy (DeMuri and Wald, 2011). However, intracranial complications such as: epidural abscess, meningitis and more rarely cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) can occur (Germiller et al., 2006). We report an unusual case of sinusitis complicated by an epidural abscess and later a CSVT in a young previously healthy patient.
