Case Discussion This case represents a frontal and ethmoid sinus inflammation that extends to the left frontal craniotomy, with inflammation of the local extra-cranial soft tissues. [radiopaedia.org]
Cranial bones are infrequently involved, but spreading of inflammation with involvement of surrounding structures represent important risk, as are cerebral abscess, encephalitis, or meningitis. [journals.lww.com]

The goal of surgery is to drain the sinus and to excise the infected bone if necessary, and the choice of surgical procedure depends on the extent of infection. Endoscopic approach is a safe and effective alternative to the external approach. [e-ceo.org]

Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis The lesion is benign and treatment has traditionally been with surgical resection. Historically, this has, on occasion, been difficult because of the inherent inability to locate the nidus during surgery 3. [radiopaedia.org]
The prognosis and cosmetic results are discussed. 1. Introduction Osteomyelitis of the facial bones is a rare condition. [hindawi.com]
In the case of widespread soft-tissue involvement, early aggressive surgical removal of infectious sequestra with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is associated with better prognosis, fewer neurologic sequelae, and a lower mortality rate. [asianjns.org]
Lower cranial nerve involvement depicts a poor prognosis despite aggressive antibiotic treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This diverse clinical symptomatology inadvertently leads to its misdiagnosis and consequently, late treatment and poorer prognosis. LCH is further classified into two categories which are single-system and multisystem disease. [ojoonline.org]
Etiology
This paper will deal with the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of osteomyelitis of the frontal bone, and its complications and sequelae. Special emphasis is placed on techniques for repair of forehead defects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The underlying etiology was purulent frontal sinusitis. Chronic exposure of the palpebral conjunctiva resulted in squamous metaplasia or epidermalization/tylosis of the conjunctiva. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
Suspected etiologic factors were hypoplasia of the frontal sinus, obstruction of the middle meatus due to a polyp and constriction of the nasofrontal duct at frontal recess due to a high orbitocranial canal. [webview.isho.jp]
Etiology: It can be caused by acute / chronic frontal sinusitis. This entity is getting uncommon these days due to the advent of powerful excellent antibiotics. [sites.google.com]
