Abstract:
Osteoblastoma is a rare, solitary benign tumor that is usually situated in axial skeleton mainly in vertebra. It is rarely seen in ethmoid and frontal sinuses. A 40-year-old man who had osteoblastoma originated from frontal and ethmoidal sinuses that extends up to frontal lobe and gave rise to personality disorders by compressing the frontal lobe, and caused superior gaze palsy by compressing the superior rectus muscle. We present this rare case with clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
