ABSTRACT
Advanced techniques of nasal endoscopy made it possible to approach the optic nerve, pituitary gland, and anterior skull base transnasally. Epidural or brain abscess caused by ascending infection through the defect of the fovea ethmoidalis can be drained with reduced morbidity by endoscopic sinus surgery. Recently we have experienced a brain abscess that was managed by endoscopic transnasal drainage successfully.
