title: Frontal sinus surgery in children.
abstract: Surgery for frontal sinusitis in children is unusual. When required, surgery for ostiomeatal disease or, in certain circumstances, frontal sinus trephination is usually all that is required. Nevertheless, for a few children, surgery of the nasofrontal recess and frontal sinus is required and can be very beneficial. A variety of surgical approaches to the frontal sinus are discussed. Functional endoscopic surgery based upon physiologic principles and the concept of reversible disease is emphasized.
