Two cases treated for hypertrophy of the frontal sinus are presented. In both patients, the excised frontal bone was inverted, and the resultant cavity was filled with either bone dust from the parietal region or Medpor. The first patient is shown with an excellent result after a follow-up period of 16 years. The second patient, who also achieved an excellent result, is presented after a follow-up period of 5 years. Using Medpor instead of bone dust resulted in the advantage that the operation could be performed with the patient under local anesthesia with sedation and prevention of an additional donor site. The use of Medpor has certain advantages over the use of hydroxyapatite, not least of which is its significant lower cost.
本文介绍了两例因额窦肥大接受治疗的病例。在这两名患者中，切除的额骨被翻转， resulting cavity用来自顶叶区域的骨粉或Medpor填充。第一名患者在随访16年后显示出极佳的效果。第二名患者在随访5年后也取得了优异的效果。使用Medpor代替骨粉的优点是手术可以在局部麻醉加镇静的情况下对患者进行，并且避免了额外的供区。与使用羟基磷灰石相比，使用Medpor有一定优势，其中最重要的是其成本显著更低。
