AbstractIntroduction:Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea is the abnormal leakage of cerebrospinal fluid into the nasal cavity. The posterior wall of the frontal sinus can be the site of such leakage. Traditionally, these leaks were repaired via external osteoplastic or neurosurgical approaches. Despite advances in instrumentation, it is difficult to manage superiorly or laterally placed defects endoscopically. We present a new technique of endoscopic repair of frontal sinus posterior wall defects, via access holes drilled in the anterior wall of the frontal sinus.Study design:Preliminary study involving patients presenting with frontal sinus cerebrospinal fluid leaks, with defects in the frontal sinus posterior wall, between 2006 and 2010.Setting:Patients were treated in a tertiary referral centre for nose and sinus diseases. Patient records were reviewed and analysed.Results:Nine patients underwent external frontal sinusotomy under endoscopic vision. Repair was successful in all cases, with no complications. Follow up ranged from three months to three years.Conclusion:External frontal sinusotomy and endoscopic repair is a simple, precise and cosmetically acceptable alternative to osteoplastic and major neurosurgical techniques for management of frontal sinus posterior wall defects. This new, previously undescribed technique enables otolaryngologists to play a role in managing such defects.

ABSTRACT Frontal sinus defects involving the posterior table has always been challenging for the otolaryngologists. It traditionally involved open approaches like osteoplastic approach for the repair of defects or fractures involving the posterior table of frontal sinus. Better instrumentation, technique, and experience have increased the feasibility of endoscopic repair of frontal sinus skull-base defects. With the increased possibilities of endoscopic approach and instrumentation for the frontal sinus, an endoscopic repair of a posterior table defect with a meningoencephalocele in a long standing post-traumatic case has been described.
