Case Study: Mucocele of the Frontal Sinus
Keywords:
mucocele, frontal sinus, expanded frontomyAbstract
The article describes a clinical case of a patient with recurrent mucocele of the frontal sinus. An extended endoscopic frontotomy of the Draf IIb type was performed, and a mucoperiosteal flap was used to prevent postoperative stenosis of the anastomosis. However, within a year after the intervention, stenosis of the anastomosis was formed with a recurrence of mucocele due to severe hyperostosis, which required repeated surgical treatment. The method of choice was an extended frontotomy of the Draf III type using a combination of nourished and free flaps to reduce the risk of restenosis of the frontal sinus anastomosis.
