N2 - Chronic frontal sinus infections in the setting of previous trauma or tumor removal are challenging clinical scenarios. To remove and débride all chronically infected tissue, obliterate dead space, and provide a stable reconstructive yet aesthetic contour are critical tasks in managing these patients. 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.
