Experience of transnasal endoscopic approach in excision of the frontal sinusosteomas

Abstract

Osteoma is a benign neoplasm consisting of highly differentiated bone tissue cells. Frontal sinus is the most frequent localization of the bone neoplasms. The only treatment of the frontal sinus osteomas is surgical intervention. There are several surgical approaches to excision of frontal sinus osteomas. Transnasal endoscopic approach is applied rather seldom, however it has a number of advantages. The article describes the experience of transnasal endoscopic approach in excision of the frontal sinus osteomas.
