Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a severe infection of bone that can arise from a variety of mechanisms. Osteomyelitis is an acute, subacute, or chronic inflammatory process of the bone, secondary to pyogenic bacterial infection, which differs according to patient’s age and infection mechanism. Treatment requires isolation of the pathogens, significant debridement for removal of all infective and necrotic material, and then bony and soft tissue reconstruction. We recently experienced a case of frontal sinus anterior wall defect caused by chronic frontal osteomyelitis in a 62-year-old male patient. The frontal sinus anterior wall defect was repaired using Tutoplast® (allograft cancellous bone chip). (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2014;25:70-74)
