====== Acute otitis media ======

Intracranial [[complication]]s of [[sinusitis]] are rare but life threatening. 
Intracranial complications of [[sinusitis]] and [[acute]] [[otitis media]] are best managed in a specialist centre with multidisciplinary input. Concurrent ORL and neurosurgical intervention reduces [[abscess]] recurrence and requirement for revision neurosurgery in sinogenic complications and should represent the standard of care.  Endoscopic sinus surgery is the ORL modality of choice in experienced hands
