title: Frontal sinus osteomyelitis with midline fistula.
abstract: Chronic osteomyelitis of frontal sinus is a rare complication of recurrent sinusitis. The pent-up secretions in the sinus may result in pressure necrosis of the containing wall of frontal sinus resulting in persistently discharging fistula. Here we present a case of chronic osteomyelitis of frontal sinus with persistent midline fistula over forehead in a 30 year old male managed surgically by osteoplastic flap procedure and frontal sinus obliteration with abdominal fat.
