Abstract
Skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) secondary to endoscopic surgery for chronic sinusitis and post-operative sphenopalatine artery electrocautery has not been previously reported. This case report details an instance of Central SBO with an unusual microbiology profile and highlights the need to readily consider SBO should patients present with persistent headache and cranial nerve palsies following sinus surgery.
