Objectives: Frontal sinus pneumocele is a rare condition characterized by abnormal expansion of the air-containing sinus beyond the normal margins of the frontal bone. The etiology remains unclear but has been associated with developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory, and post-traumatic causes. Few reports in the literature describe the surgical management of frontal sinus pneumocele. We focus on describing the evaluation, work-up and surgical treatment of this condition.
