ABSTRACT

La rinosinusitis es una infección común en la población pediátrica, y entre sus complicaciones está la infección intracraneal que se relaciona con alta morbilidad y mortalidad. Es imprescindible un alto índice de sospecha para llegar así al diagnóstico temprano y brindar el tratamiento antibiótico y quirúrgico necesario. Presentamos nuestra experiencia de tres pacientes pediátricos con infección intracraneal secundaria a rinosinusitis.
