Pneumosinus dilatans of the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses: case report

Incidence and clinico- anatomical relevance of pneumosinus dilatans frontalis using computed tomography and in south Indian skulls

“…In the literature, we found that PD had been documented radiographically, 11 as clinical case reports, 12,13 and few conducted as cadaveric study. 4,6 Tellado et al in 2002 cited a 1968 review by Lombardi et al The review by Lombardi et al includes 51 cases of PD, among them 39 cases in frontal sinus and 12 cases in another sinus.…”

“…In the literature, many terms were used to describe the same clinical condition as pneumocele, pneumosinus frontalis, sinus hypertrophy, aerocele, and hyper pneumatization. 1 The disease was first described by Meyes but however, Benjamin (1918) coined the term Pneumosinus dilatans. 2,3 Afroze (2017) was first who coined the term "Deer Horn Sinus" for Pneumosinus dilatans Frontalis (PDF) because on coronal computed tomography (CT) images PDF may give an appearance of deer horn.…”

Pneumosinus dilatans frontalis: two case reports

“…Viterbo et al (1990) filled the sinus with autogenous bone following osteotomy and inversion of the frontal sinus wall. In contrast, Tellado et al (2002) removed the sinus mucosa and obliterated the lumen with abdominal fat. Hydroxyapatite was used for contour.…”

“…Altogether there have been approximately 60 cases published (e.g. Lombardi et al, 1968;Urken et al, 1987;Pospisil and Balmer, 1988;Stretch and Poole, 1992;Benjamin et al, 1997;Appelt et al, 1999;Tellado et al, 2002).…”

A case of port-wine stain associated with ipsilateral pneumosinus dilatans

“…There are fewer than 70 cases reported in the medical literature. The age at presentation varies from childhood to old age 7,8 . It primarily involves the frontal sinuses, and the precise cause and pathogenesis are still unknown.…”
