Abstract

Craniofacial resection techniques were developed to allow complete monobloc removal of malignant tumours of the ethmoid region. Such a surgical approach may also occasionally be useful in certain non-malignant conditions. Extensive ‘destructive’ aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses has a high mortality once the anterior cranial fossa dura is reached. Craniofacial surgery provides excellent access to excise such large infective ‘tumours’.
