Summary

Introduction

Frontal sinus surgeries throughout the history have been tiresome. Even in the hands of experts frontal sinus surgeries outcomes have been debatable. The available success rate of primary functional endoscopic sinus surgeries varies from 7698% [1]. Many of which would contribute to frontal recess blockage where the disease is most probably to reoccur [4]. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the causes of failed primary endoscopic frontal sinus surgeries and illustrate the clinical applications of the image guidance in managing them. With its multifaceted anatomy and neighboring vital structures, frontal sinus disease creates a dreaded encounter to every otolaryngologist. The objective is to highlight the causes of revision endoscopic frontal sinus surgery and illustrate the clinical applications of the image guidance in managing them
