We report three cases of suppurative sinusitis that presented to our casualty department over a one week period. All three patients suffered complications of the disease secondary to extension of the inflammatory process beyond the bony confines of the sinus. None of the patients had previous history of sinus disease. We wish to remind the clinician that such complications still exist and we highlight the necessity of rapid diagnosis and early intervention in the management of complicated sinus disease.

We describe three cases of disseminated herpes zoster occurring in the elderly, and discuss the investigation and diagnosis of this condition. The presentation may be atypical with excoriated papular lesions. We suggest that disseminated herpes zoster does occur in the non-immunocompromised elderly patient, and is sometimes overlooked.
