Frontal sinusitis, a complication of infections or trauma, can lead to severe issues. The osteoplastic flap with osteoneogenesis is now the preferred surgical method for chronic frontal sinusitis management.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Neurosurgery
Infectious Diseases

Background:

Frontal sinusitis frequently arises after upper respiratory infections, trauma, or swimming.
While less common than in the pre-antibiotic era, life-threatening complications of frontal sinusitis still occur.
This study reviews cases from a specific decade to analyze management and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the clinical course and management of patients with frontal sinusitis.
To discuss regional complications associated with frontal sinusitis.
To evaluate surgical procedures for managing chronic frontal sinusitis.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 40 patients diagnosed with frontal sinusitis.
Analysis of patient admissions to St. Michael's Hospital between 1973 and 1983.
