Frontocutaneous Fistula Secondary to Frontal Sinusitis
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Frontocutaneous fistula is a rare complication of frontal sinusitis. This mostly occurs as a result of osteomyelitis of the frontal bone on account of sinusitis. These are managed by endoscopic closure or by external approach depending on the cause and extent of sinusitis. We report on the case of a 57 year old man who presented to our ENT Unit with a defect on the face medial to the right eye.
