Evolving Treatment of Frontal Sinus Cholesteatoma: A Case Report.

DISCUSSION: The pathogenesis of frontal sinus cholesteatoma varies based on its cause (congenital vs acquired). Clinical diagnosis remains challenging but is aided by nasal endoscopy, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Historically, FSC has been managed by total extirpation through open approaches, which can entail substantial morbidity. With sophisticated endoscopic sinus instrumentation and image guidance, FSC can be successfully treated via an endoscopic approach. Serial débridements and washouts in an outpatient setting may adequately manage the residual disease in the postoperative period. PMID: 32097113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
