Frontal sinus defects involving the posterior table has always been challenging for the otolaryngologists. It traditionally involved open approaches like osteoplastic approach for the repair of defects or fractures involving the posterior table of frontal sinus. Better instrumentation, technique, and experience have increased the feasibility of endoscopic repair of frontal sinus skull-base defects. With the increased possibilities of endoscopic approach and instrumentation for the frontal sinus, an endoscopic repair of a posterior table defect with a meningoencephalocele in a long standing post-traumatic case has been described.
