Abstract
: Frontal sinus fractures account for only 5-15 of maxillofacial injuries. They are commonly associated with motor vehicle crashes, sporting events and assaults. Isolated anterior table of frontal sinus injuries account for 33-39 of frontal sinus fractures. These injuries believe to carry a low risk of long term morbidity and primary result in aesthetic deformities. Historically, open reduction and rigid fixation of fracture using coronal incision was done in the past. Now due to recent development of instrumentation and endoscopic brow lifting allowed access to fracture reduction without the need of coronal incision.
