Abstract:
On the review of literature, various cases of osteomas orginated from paranasal sinuses can be found. But osteomas which are large enough to produce ocular symptoms are not very common. Even more, various ocular and intracranial sequelae may be complicated from surgical removal of huge frontal osteoma. We present a case of huge frontal osteoma which is originated from frontal sinus and removed successfully without any complications.
