Open Surgical Management of an Asymptomatic Giant Frontal Sinus Osteoma

Osteomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that arise most frequently in the craniomaxillofacial region, and in particular in correspondence of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Osteomas may be asymptomatic for a long time until they cause deformation of the bone or compress adjacent structures. The treatment of osteomas of the frontal sinus may involve endoscopic approach or open approach. Although endoscopic treatment is the most common approach for frontal sinus osteomas, a coronal approach combined with the use of titanium mesh may still constitute a valuable option for the reconstruction of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus. This intervention is extremely important and delicate because the restoration of the integrity of the frontal sinus is crucial for its function. The purpose of this article is to present a case of frontal sinus osteoma that was treated by a coronal approach and a titanium mesh to restore frontal sinus contour.
