title: [The puncture treatment in frontal sinusitis (author's transl)].
abstract: Patients suffering from acute or chronic frontal sinusitis should be treated by a drill-puncture of the anterior wall. A chronic cannula or a plastic tube is inserted and the sinusitis by this way influenced directly. In more than 60% of the cases the sinusitis can be cured and an operation is prevented. The procedure should be combined with a control of the nasal septum and the medial turbinate. Recidives of chronic frontal sinusitis after previous puncture should not a second time be treated using this method.
