“…During external fronto-ethmoidectomy, the trochlea which is often attenuated by the mueocoele sac, is usually intentionally detached from the frontal bone (Howarth, 1921;Lynch, 1921;Harrison, 1980). It is assumed that if the periosteum is not breached, damage to the tendon of the superior oblique muscle in the trochlea is negligible and reattachment occurs (Iliff, 1973).…”

“…Reichert (1902), Sargnon (1908) and Imhofer (1910) all used similar instruments and even attempted removal of foreign bodies. However, the inferior meatus and canine fossa approaches remained more popular for maxillary sinus disease (Mickulicz 1987, Caldwell 1893, Luc 1897) whilst the frontal sinus was generally approached by an external route (Howarth 1921, Lynch 1921, Macbeth 1954, Goodale and Montgomery 1958. Mosher (1913) is credited with the first description of an intranasal ethmoidectomy but by 1929 he concluded that whilst theoretically simple, this operation had in practice proven to be one of the easiest operations with which to kill the patient.…”

“…This, I felt, was quite a new idea and I was happy to report some success. However, in the 1923 Journal of Laryngology, I read a report from Mr. Walter Howarth who stated that in 1913 he had operated upon a 12-year-old male, who had been wearing a tracheotomy tube since infancy as a result of a high tracheotomy for upper airway obstruction from diphtheria (Howarth, 1923). This had resulted in complete stenosis of the subglottic region, cricoid ring and upper trachea.…”
