Risk factors in patients treated with surgical drainage for rhinogenic intracranial complications: a nationwide study
Although RICs are rare, with decreasing mortality due to progress in imaging and clinical strategies, they remain the most severe complications of rhinosinusitis. Subdural and/or intracerebral abscess, consciousness level at admission, and more than one surgical intervention were found to be risk factors for mortality. Conversely, concurrent interventions, intracranial and sinonasal drainage, contributed to reducing this risk.
