A 17-year-old boy was referred to our hospital because of multiple maxillofacial skeletal fractures, visual loss in his left eye and a lacerated wound of the left upper eyelid sustained ten days previously when he ran into a pavement tree while riding his motorbicycle. Open reduction of the fractures and endonasal surgery for the fracture of the optic bony canal on the left were performed. Almost a month postoperatively, the patient returned with fever and swelling of his left upper eyelid and this abscess formation at the site of the lacerated wound in his left upper eyelid recurred many times during the following period of one year. Brain abscess in the left frontal lobe communicating with the upper eyelid was finally found and this was excised by frontal craniotomy.
