The anterior ethmoid cells were also widely opened, and the frontal ostium was identified after Draf I
sinusotomy. Mucosa of the frontal recess area was left untouched.
Larger hematomas within the sinus may require extirpation via
sinusotomy. Intralesional formalin treatment via trephine has been ineffective.

The lamina is at risk during uncinectomy or ethmoidectomy, with the orbital floor at risk during maxillary antrostomy and
sinusotomy [11], though the orbital floor is generally not considered a high-risk area during sinus surgery [6].

In several species, in addition to a general clinical examination, some diagnostic methods can be used such as regional radiographs, sinucentesis, surgical exploration (
sinusotomy), tomography and sinuscopy; the latter is performed with rigid or flexible endoscopes (ALLISON, 1999; EMSHOFF et al., 1999; SMITH, 2006).
Another case has been reported by Jennifer L Peterson et al in 2012 where the patient underwent an extensive surgical resection, which involved a right anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy, sphenoidotomy, a maxillary antrostomy, and a frontal
sinusotomy with the removal of contents and an inferior turbinate reduction.

Several surgical approaches to the frontal sinus have been described, including frontal
sinusotomy, endoscopic endonasal
sinusotomy, and various combined approaches that involve both endoscopic techniques and frontal sinus trephination (FST).
