Popis: The frontal sinus is one the most complex of the paranasal sinuses, its proximity to the cranial vault and the orbit cause that frontal sinus pathologies can progress to involve these structures and lead to significant morbidity, or even death. Surgical management of the frontal sinus is technically challenging, the most commonly used surgical approaches are coronal, butterfly, gullwing and suprabrow. The purpose of this article is to propose the C-S approach, an interesting alternative to the gullwing approach for the managing of median and paramedian frontal sinus lesions or isolated displaced fractures of the anterior wall. The main advantage of this technique is represented by the fact that it follows the new tension lines described in the literature, a curved vertical line that follows the glabellar frown.
