METHODS: We performed a retrospective case review of patients with sinocutaneous fistula. Clinical records, imaging, and operative reports were carefully examined. A complete literature review for relevant studies was performed to examine similar cases and possible pathophysiology. RESULTS: Three patients with sinocutaneous fistula secondary to frontal sinusitis were identified. All patients underwent successful endoscopic sinus surgery with computer-assisted stereotactic localization and closure of the fistula. CONCLUSIONS: Development of sinocutaneous fistula secondary to frontal sinusitis is rare, but still occurs in the modern antibiotic era. Definitive management of this disease process requires 1) a frontal sinusotomy ensuring patency of the outflow tract and 2) fistula excision and multilayer closure. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=19683 ------>authors2=Hwang WZ ------>authors3=LeeFP ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Chiang YC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Sinocutaneous fistula secondary to chronic frontal rhinosinusitis: case series and literature review. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=NULL ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2008 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=1 |
