| Abstract |
A 47-year-old previously healthy woman was transferred to our facility when she developed asymmetric bilateral sixth nerve palsies during treatment of intractable sinusitis. Her symptoms had started 2 weeks previously with headache and sinus congestion for which she received amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and prednisone. A few days later, she saw an otolaryngologist for worsening symptoms. She had bloody material on nasal endoscopy and was prescribed clindamycin and dexamethasone. |
