Surgical treatment tactics for osteomas of frontal sinuses in the combined approach of maxillofacial surgeon and otorhinolaryngologist – N.A. Daikhes, A.S. Karayan, N.A. Subbotina, K.M. Shumov

Due to the widespread use of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) in clinical practice, the incidence of sinus osteoma has increased. Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses; its most frequent localization is the frontal sinus with transition to the ethmoidal labyrinth. According to some authors, the prevalence of the disease in the population amounts to 1%, according to other authors – 3%. Surgical treatment of osteoma often requires a simultaneous approach involving maxillofacial surgeons and otorhinolaryngologists since the tumor affects adjacent anatomical regions. This article contains criteria for the choice of surgical tactics in different types of osteomas. The article presents clinical cases of osteoma requiring transcoronary access. The pathologic diagnosis of osteoma was confirmed in all mentioned cases.
