Abstract
- The paranasal sinus osteoma is a benign tumor characterized by a slow growth rate. Initially, the symptoms are uncharacteristic in most of the cases, afterwards they can cause headaches, nasal obstruction, epiphora etc. The authors present the case of a 45-year-old patient from IFACF - ENT “Prof. Dr. D. Hociota” with a history of frontal headache and retrobulbar pain, which started about 6 months ago. The endoscopic and computer tomographic exam mark the presence of a left frontoethmoidal tumor with bone consistency. The surgical approach was combined, with the complete macroscopic removal of the tumor and ensuring the physiological frontal sinus drainage.
