Medical Management of Frontal Sinusitis

Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is a term that has long been used to describe a diverse disease entity that encompasses several related but distinct conditions involving the paranasal sinuses. Frontal sinusitis represents one such entity with its own unique treatment considerations. Like rhinosinusitis as a whole, the role of medical management in the treatment of frontal sinusitis cannot be overlooked. Contemporary medical management of frontal sinusitis requires recognition of the unique disease process with implementation of targeted therapies aimed at addressing the specific pathophysiology.
