The frontal sinus is one the most complex of the paranasal sinuses, its proximity to the cranial vault and the orbit cause that frontal sinus pathologies can progress to involve these structures and lead to significant morbidity, or even death. Surgical management of the frontal sinus is technically challenging, the most commonly used surgical approaches are coronal, butterfly, gullwing and suprabrow. The purpose of this article is to propose the C-S approach, an interesting alternative to the gullwing approach for the managing of median and paramedian frontal sinus lesions or isolated displaced fractures of the anterior wall.

Therefore, this research aimed to retrospectively analyze MRONJ cases diagnosed in our tertiary referral hospital during the last 14 years, focusing on the onset of the disease, potential trigger events, and countermeasures to update the knowledge on their pathogenesis. An audit of patients diagnosed with MRONJ attending our department from 2008 to 2021was performed.
