N2 - This case report illustrates a method of correction for severe hypertrophy of the frontal bone. Accurate preoperative assessment including physical examination, photographs, and radiological studies are necessary. The anterior table of the frontal bone is removed, recontoured, and stabilized to the adjacent bone while maintaining the integrity of the frontal sinus mucosa. Hydroxyapatite cement is used to resurface and contour the frontal bone. This method is demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated, and should be considered as the procedure of choice for this condition.
