The role of expanded endoscopic endonasal approaches in treating skull base pathologies has significantly increased over the last decade, along with greater knowledge of the ventral anatomy of this region, offering a new method of brain abscess treatment. We present the case of 24-year-old, male with brain abscess secondary to acute sinusitis that was drained with an endoscopic endonasal approach. We discuss the pathogenesis, diagnostic and appropriate treatment available in literature.

Subject age and sex were used as control variables while family income, education level, degree of happiness, adequacy of income, satisfaction with the neighborhood and sense of discrimination were the intervening variables selected. After adjustment in the hierarchical model the self-rated health status was inversely associated with social vulnerability, age and sense of discrimination, and directly related to income, education level and degree of happiness. Satisfaction with the neighborhood and adequacy of income lose significance after adjustment. The degree of happiness is the variable with the greatest strength of association with health status even after controlling for other variables.
