Subgaleal abscess is a purulent infection between the skull pericranium and the scalp galea aponeurosis. The most common reasons of the subgaleal abscess were reported as scalp lacerations due to trauma, wound infection following neurosurgery. There have been many cases of intracranial infections such as brain abscess, meningitis, subdural abscess resulting from odontogenic sinusitis. According to our literature review, no case of subgaleal abscess resulting from odontogenic infection has been reported yet. The authors introduce a case of 66 year-old male whose subgaleal abscess arose from odontogenic sinusitis. The case was successfully managed after surgical drainage, endoscopic sinus surgery and extraction of the involved tooth.
