Abstract
An 18-year-old boy developed left frontal extradural hematoma following frontal sinusitis. This is the second such case reported in English literature. The patient had chronic sinusitis and presented with convulsions, hyperpyrexia, swollen left eyelids, papillodema, and septicemia. He had no history of trauma or skull fracture. The patient died four days after the onset of illness. There was no bleeding from major vessels. It is possible that bleeding was due to rupture of small necrotic vessels.
