We report three cases of supurative sinusitis that presented to our ca
sualty department over a one week period, All three patients suffered
complications of the disease secondary to extension of the inflammator
y process beyond the bony confines of the sinus, None of the patients
had previous history of sinus disease, We wish to remind the clinician
that such complications still exist and we highlight the necessity of
rapid diagnosis and early intervention in the management of complicat
ed sinus disease.
