Abstract

Isolated frontal disease is a rare entity, although it has been widely discussed in literature. The frontal sinus features a wide variation in pneumatisation and drainage pattern and also has close proximity to the orbit and skull base.  A retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care centre in South Kerala, between 2019 and 2021, identified five cases of isolated frontal diseases.  Patients were diagnosed on the basis of clinical examination, radiological investigations and histology. Management decisions were based on size of the tumour, suspicion of malignancy and extend of disease.
