الوصف: Comminuted fractures of the anterior table of the frontal sinus involving frontonasal ducts are traditionally treated with sinus obliteration. This technique entails precise mucosa removal which requires unimpeded visualization of the bony recesses. To achieve adequate access to the mucosa, temporary removal of a large part of the frontal bone may often be necessary. This in turn increases fracture comminution requiring placement of additional hardware associated with the risk for bony malalignment, infection, plate palpability, and visibility, especially in thin-skin individuals. Endoscopy, offering magnified visualization and less invasive access, is reported to be beneficial in sinus injury management. Therefore, it may be also considered an adjunct in open-approach management of severely comminuted fractures.The authors' patient suffered from comminuted fractures of the anterior and posterior tables of the frontal sinus and nasal bone fractures with involvement of the frontonasal ducts. Due to the extent of the injury he underwent frontal sinus obliteration procedure using the pericranial flap. To avoid additional osteotomy, endoscopic approach was undertaken to achieve the complete removal of the sinus mucosa. The fracture by itself offered an "access port" for the endoscope and electrical cautery. The patient's recovery was uneventful.Endoscopy employed in frontal sinus obliteration appears to be instrumental in obtaining meticulous mucosa removal, obviating the need for additional osteotomy of the frontal bone.
