Isolated frontal sinus disease is a rare and highly morbid condition. Although chronic frontal sinusitis has been described in literature, clinically it is quite uncommon in the absence of paranasal sinusitis and rhinitis. Here we examine a case of isolated chronic frontal sinusitis presenting with anosmia-a curious clinical manifestation.

Unlabelled: Pott's puffy tumor, a rare complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma, presents with subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. Early diagnosis with imaging studies and prompt treatment with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of the abscess requires in most cases for a successful outcome. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who initially presented with left sided retro-orbital/frontal area headache associated with high grade temperature and painful localized small forehead swelling.

Extended endoscopic sinus surgery (EESS) can reduce the recurrence rate of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the application of modified "protective middle turbinate-EESS" (mEESS) on patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and allergic rhinitis (AR). Forty-three patients with CRSwNP and AR were classified into 2 groups, the mEESS group (n=23) and the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) group (n=20), and were followed up for 6 months and 1 year after surgery.

Background: CVT is caused by thrombotic obstruction of the venous sinuses leading to increased ICP with neurological deficits. It can present as a complication of rhinosinusitis, streptococcus anginosus () being the most notorious in pediatric age groups.

Problem Statement: While CT (Computed Tomography) is commonly used, its diagnostic accuracy for chronic sinusitis remains uncertain. Moreover, the high cost of CT examinations limits its use as a routine diagnostic method. There is an urgent need to develop an AI-assisted diagnostic model for sinusitis.
