We present a unique case of acute on chronic left frontal sinusitis with an orbital abscess in the left orbit complicated by granulomatosis with polyangiitis and a defect to the structure of the orbit, among the 87 year old patient's other health-related conditions. Urgent transfer to tertiary care, and diagnostic, surgical, and multidisciplinary management were necessary to achieve a favorable clinical outcome: the eye was left undamaged and no infection spread to the brain. This report also sets out to review the literature.
