Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Pneumosinus dilatans is a rare condition characterized by abnormally enlarged paranasal sinuses.
  • Forehead deformity is a common initial clinical sign, impacting aesthetics and potentially causing patient distress.

Observation:

  • Two cases of pneumosinus dilatans presenting with forehead deformity were analyzed.
  • Diagnostic imaging and clinical evaluations were performed to confirm the sinus enlargement.

Findings:

  • The study successfully diagnosed pneumosinus dilatans in both cases.
  • A specific osteotomy technique was employed for surgical correction, achieving favorable outcomes.

Implications:

  • The described osteotomy is presented as a recommended surgical approach for pneumosinus dilatans.
  • Effective management of forehead deformity due to enlarged sinuses can improve patient quality of life.
