Purpose: Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) and acute otitis media (AOM) are common diseases in pediatric populations that rarely lead to intracranial infection and/or orbital complications. The incidence of these complications has increased in recent years and the main aim of this study is to analyze the tendency of this increase during the pandemic years, compared with the pre-pandemic era and to propose our management of ABRS and AOM.
Method: Clinical data from children, admitted to our hospital during the period from January 2018 to March 2024 with a diagnosis of complicated ABRS and AOM was collected.
A 72-year-old male with a history of excessive alcohol intake (35+ units of alcohol daily) presented to the emergency department with bilateral vision loss, periorbital swelling, headache, and sinus congestion with bloody nasal discharge. He was newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and presented with severe diabetic ketoacidosis and a hypertensive emergency (blood pressure of 240/90 mmHg). Despite initial normal brain and orbital imaging, the clinical presentation was complicated by multiple life-threatening conditions and a prior immunocompetent status, thereby delaying the early suspicion of mucormycosis.

Introduction: The differential diagnosis of orbital complications of rhinosinusitis with diseases of the lacrimal sac in childhood remains unresolved both due to the similarity of the symptoms of the diseases and due to certain diagnostic difficulties requiring computed tomography.
Objective: To develop an algorithm for routing a patient to the emergency department of a multidisciplinary emergency hospital based on clinical and diagnostic distinctive features of sinusitis with orbital complications and diseases of the lacrimal sac with reactive edema of the eyelids.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of children's medical histories, who were treated in the otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological departments of the Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital during 2022 was performed for orbital complications of rhinosinusitis or dacryocystitis with reactive edema of the eyelids.
