  • Title: A case report of intraoperative retroorbital fluid dissection after frontal mini-trephine placement.
    Author: Andrews JN, Lopez MA, Weitzel EK.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 2013 Dec; 123(12):2969-71. PubMed ID: 23754754.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 24-year-old male with a history of allergic fungal sinusitis, who experienced an intraoperative retro-orbital fluid dissection after frontal mini-trephine placement. Although mini-trephination of the frontal sinus is a useful technique that is frequently employed during endoscopic sinus surgery, it has potential complications. The purpose of this report is to discuss a previously unreported complication of frontal mini-trephination and its management.
