Abstract

Complicated frontal sinusitis is a pathology which still leads to important mortality and morbidity, and its treatment is surgical. The surgical approach is selected according to the extensiveness of pathology and degree of complications. Although endoscopic sinus surgery is still the first-line modality of choice, complicated cases extending laterally to the frontal sinus may require to be combined with osteoplastic flap approach, as in our case. Herein, we present a 52-year-old male case who was admitted with complaints of purulent drainage on the right eyelid, swelling and tenderness on the eyelids and forehead, and moderate headache.
