Abstract
|
|
|
|
Osteomas in the paranasal sinus had been usually treated with external surgical approaches. These techniques are effective in certain conditions such as large size or bilateral involvement of osteomas, with intracranial or orbital complications. This modality, however, have some disadvantages like permanent scar formation, bleeding, mucocele, and paresthesias. The authors recently experienced a huge impacted frontal osteoma, which completely involved the bilateral frontal recess without enough working space to mobilize the tumor. The huge bilateral impacted frontal osteoma was removed with endoscopic modified Lothrop approach due to cosmetic problems. We hereby report this case with a review of literature.
