Computed tomography (CT) revealed frontal empyema, orbital cellulitis, pansinusitis, venous sinus thrombosis, and septic pulmonary emboli. Despite antibiotic treatment, he required sinus exclusion, ethmoidectomy, and neurosurgical drainage. Cultures grew Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas spp., and Neisseria spp.. Postoperatively, the bilateral optic atrophy led to irreversible blindness. Follow-up MR angiography revealed regression of the infection and sinus recanalization. Antibiotics and anticoagulants were discontinued after three months; the patient remained blind and awaited cranioplasty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPT often causes epidural or subdural abscesses; however, blindness is exceedingly rare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPT should be suspected in adolescents with persistent frontal swelling.
