Neisseria meningitidis is carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx and is most known for causing septicemia and meningitis; however, the pathogenesis and incidence rates of N. meningitidis sinusitis are not well described. This case series describes four patients from a tertiary medical center who presented with culture‐positive N. meningitidis sinusitis within a nine‐month period. Three patients had complete resolution of symptoms after treatment with the appropriate antibiotic regimen, with one patient requiring functional endoscopic sinus surgery. We encourge providers to advocate for vaccination in their young adult unvaccinated patients, as each patient here was not appropriately vaccinated according to CDC guidelines.
