Abstract

ACOSTA-FERIA, M. et al. Frontal sinus obliteration using tibial bone graft and platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. Neurocirugía [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.4, pp.351-356. ISSN 1130-1473.

Objetives. The more successfully surgical treatment for the treatment of chronic frontal sinusitis complicated with chronic osteomielitis, is the cleaning and curettage of the sinus with obliteration of the sinus cavity and nasofrontal duct. Several autologous and alloplastics materials are used for this obliteration. Material and methods. We report the case of a patient previously operated on because of frontal sinus plasmocytoma who developed frontal sinusitis with chronic osteomielitis and cutaneous suppuration. He received surgical treatment with frontal sinus curettage and obliteration with tibial bone graft and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Symptoms disappeared and there were no complications or recurrence. Conclusions. Obliteration of the frontal sinus with tibial bone graft and PRP after sinus cleaning and curettage can be a good alternative in the treatment of chronic frontal sinus osteomielitis.
