INTRODUCTION: Despite increasingly better diagnostic and therapeutic methods @entity1504 , invariably pose a direct threat to the lives of @entity1 and a challenge for otolaryngologists. AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze @entity1 with @entity1504 treated at the Department of Otolaryngology and Otolaryngological Oncology of Pozna   University of Medical Sciences in the years 2000-2013. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analysis covered the period from January 2000 to December 2013. Twenty-one @entity1 with @entity1504 were treated at the Department of Otolaryngology in Poznan during that time. RESULTS: Material mainly included young @entity1 . @entity867 were the most common complications. Intracranial complications of @entity1244 rarely occurred in isolation, often coexisting with other intracranial pathologies. A significant increase in the incidence was recorded in 2013. Treatment involved concurrently alleviating @entity32 in the sinuses through implementation of broad-spectrum antibiotics for several weeks and decompressing the organized intracerebral abscesses, @entity3509 , epidural and/or subdural abscesses under control of neuronavigation. There were no @entity1 deaths recorded in the analyzed period. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of developing @entity1504 is low but invariably present and should be included in the differential diagnosis. Since the incidence of @entity1504 may increase in the course of prevailing @entity1800 , it should raise diagnostic vigilance.
