Definitive Management of Persistent Frontal Sinus Infections and Mucocele with a Vascularized Free Fibula Flap.

Chronic frontal sinus infections in the setting of previous trauma or tumor removal are challenging clinical scenarios.

The vascularized free fibula is an ideal flap for this situation; in this article, the authors detail their technique in a patient with chronic frontal sinus infections complicated by mucocele formation.
