Abstract
Fracture of the frontal sinus associated with or without injury of the cranial vault often creates various later complications of the paranasal sinuses. One of the frequent complications is pyocele or mucocele of the frontal sinus. In order to prevent complications the authors used the positive approach of surgical intervention in five cases with fractured frontal sinus.
Management of the fractured posterior table of the frontal sinus was often required during the surgical procedure. For management of the anterior table, special consideration was given for the postperative cosmetic effect.
A close cooperation of s urgeon and otolaryngologist was emphasized for the treatment of such an injury.
