Osteoma of Frontal Sinus

Frontal sinus osteoma associated with pneumocephalus.

The most common causes of intracranial air are head trauma and neurosurgical procedures. Less common etiologies include infection due to gas-forming organisms, mucoceles, tumours, congenital neuroenteric cysts, and dural defects. Here, we present a case of a frontal sinus osteoma associated with longstanding pneumocephalus.

Transnasal endoscopic piezoelectric-assisted removal of frontal sinus osteoma.

INTRODUCTION Piezosurgery, a method of bone cutting utilizing ultrasound vibrations, widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, is being used in a growing number of new clinical applications. Its main advantages are preservation of soft tissues, precise bone cutting, and the possibility of use in narrow spaces. Over the past 5 years, several authors have presented their experience with the ...

Frontal sinus osteoma complicated by palpebral abscess: case report.

Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are slow-growing, benign tumours most frequently found in the frontal sinus with an incidence that varies from 47% to 80% of the cases; there are often no symptoms and they are diagnosed by chance during an X-ray examination. When there are symptoms, they are usually headaches and ocular or neurological complications. The treatment of choice is surgery. A case ...

Frontal sinus osteoma removal with the ultrasonic bone aspirator.

Osteomas, the most common skull tumors, are typically excised through either an open or endoscopic ostectomy using a high-speed drill, a technically challenging procedure that can result in injury to adjacent soft tissue structures. Osteoma removal through ultrasonic bone emulsification and aspiration (UBA) offers the advantages of decreased blood loss, preservation of adjacent soft tissue stru...
