Pneumosinus dilatans is a rare condition and different techniques have been proposed for its management and correction. The abnormally expanded, aerated frontal sinus has been described in the literature as: frontal sinus hypertrophy, pneumosinus dilatans, pneumosinus frontalis, aerocele, pneumocele, sinus ectasia, hyperpneumatization and others. The precise aetiology and pathogenesis of the condition is unknown, although several basic hypotheses have been proposed
The authors report two cases of frontal bossing and supraorbital ridge deformity correction using craniofacial surgical principles.
Functional and morphological results are discussed and compared with other open procedures.
A variety of surgical procedures have been proposed for the correction of the pneumosinus dilatans frontalis. The craniofacial approach is advocated to reproduce the normal anatomy of the forehead in the upper part, the supraorbital rim and glabellar area.
鼻窦气肿是一种罕见的疾病，已经提出了不同的技术来对其进行管理和纠正。异常扩大、充气的额窦在文献中被描述为：额窦肥大、鼻窦气肿、额窦气肿、气囊肿、气囊肿、窦扩张、过度充气等。尽管已经提出了几个基本假设，但这种情况的确切病因和发病机制尚不清楚。
作者报告了两例使用颅面外科原则矫正额骨突出和眶上嵴畸形的病例。
讨论了功能和形态结果，并与其他开放式手术进行了比较。
已经提出了多种手术方法来纠正额窦气肿。提倡采用颅面外科方法来重建额部上部、眶上缘和眉间区的正常解剖结构。
