ABSTRACT
Nineteen patients of frontal osteoma were diagnosed in the period between May 1995 and November 1998. Five cases were asymptomatic and follow up was our policy in those cases. Four cases presented with chronic/recurrent frontal headache. Ten patients were complicated. Six showed secondary mucoceles, which extended to the orbit and/or the intracranial cavity in 5 cases. Other complications included recurrent acute sinusitis, orbital extension of the tumor, gross involvement of the anterior table of the frontal bone and osteomyelitis with fistulation. Frontal osteoplastic flap was our procedure to resect these tumors
