Abstract

Frontal sinus fractures are generally accessed by the coronal or the gull-wing approach, depending of the extension and the complexity of the fractures lines. The latter one, in spite of being fast and objective in smaller fractures, presents the main disadvantage of a poor aesthetic result. The superciliary approach is presented and illustrated in a clinical case as an objective and cosmetically efficient option for the treatment of small anterior frontal sinus wall fractures, having the criteria for indication and the technique described throughout the article.
