This case report illustrates a method of correction for severe hypertrophy
of the frontal bone. Accurate preoperative assessment including physical ex
amination, photographs, and radiological studies are necessary. The anterio
r table of the frontal bone is removed, recontoured, and stabilized to the
adjacent bone while maintaining the integrity of the frontal sinus mucosa.
Hydroxyapatite cement is used to resurface and contour the frontal bone. Th
is method is demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated, and should be cons
idered as the procedure of choice for this condition.
