Background:
The authors describe a technique for repairing the frontal sinus with autologous bone grafts removed during craniotomy and fibrin glue.
Methods:
This technique was used in 12 patients who underwent craniotomy for aneurysms (n = 9), brain tumors (n = 2), and acute epidural hematoma (n = 1).
Results:
The repair was successful in all cases. There were no instances of postoperative infection or leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. No complications from the repair have occurred over a mean follow-up of 51 months.
Conclusion:
This technique is simpler than others used to seal a frontal sinus.
