Acase report of combined epidural and interhemispheric subdural empyema as a complication of frontal sinusitis was presented. Chart review of a 14-yearold male with complicated frontal sinusitis was conducted. Intracranial abscess was drained by craniotomy and frontal sinus was managed with endoscopic sinus surgery. Patient recovered with a slight weakness in the lower extremities. Intracranial complications may progress to advanced stages with non-specific symptoms therefore a high index of suspicion is necessary for the early diagnosis of the disease. Eradication of the infective focus is very important in the management of intracranial suppuration. In the absence of osteomyelitis, endoscopic approach can be employed successfully for the treatment of frontal sinusitis.
