Popis:	Frontal sinus pathology that is superiorly or laterally positioned may be difficult to manage with standard endoscopic techniques. With the assistance of computed tomography image-guidance systems, a directed trephination can be performed to reach these areas in lieu of performing an osteoplastic flap. The image-guided frontal trephination procedure offers a minimally invasive, mucosal-sparing technique with less potential morbidity than an osteoplastic flap. Two illustrative cases will be presented to highlight indications and technique.
