Abstract

The use of endoscopic nasal surgery for debulking ethmoidal fibrous dysplasia, blocking the right ostiomeatal complex is presented. Removal of the obstructing bony mass was done by ear curette and drills. The procedure was limited to the ostiomeatal complex in order not to violate the orbital contents. The advantages of this method over the external approach are outlined in this paper.
