Prediction of the clinical outcome of acute frontal sinusitis with ventilation measurement of the nasofrontal duct after trephination: a long-term follow-up study.
Laryngoscope 1996 March
Acute frontal sinusitis has become an increasing clinical problem in the region that is served by the hospital represented by the authors of this study. The standard surgical treatment protocol after the failure of conservative therapy has been to perform trephination of the involved frontal sinus. More sophisticated procedures have been used in patients with prolonged or recurrent disease. The authors have developed a simple ventilation test of the nasofrontal duct that can be used to determine which patients require further surgery. In a long-term follow-up study of 85 patients, this ventilation test was shown to predict the cases that would heal uneventfully after trephination and the cases that would require further surgery because of an obstructed nasofrontal duct. The findings of this study are of special interest for modern functional endoscopic sinus surgery, the purpose of which is to open up the nasofrontal region.
