Abstract

Three cases show the most common symtoms of sinogenic brain abcess including high intracranial pressure syndrome (headache, vomiting, mental disorder). In addition, there arc abnormal symtoms about eyes (loss vision, blindness, limited movement of eyes). The symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis arc usually not aggressive. These cases took CT scan/ MRI to identify diagnosis clearly. They were cured combined antibiotic therapy and abscess drainage from brain by transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery or craniotomy. All of them improved good their health. And they can went out from the hospital. Sinogenic causes maybe invade directly into brain tissue by anterior skull base or indirectly into bloodstream and move until brain.
