case_images: A pericranial flap was increased separately till the approximate limit of the frontal sinus, with the help of micro-motor, bur holes were made through the outer wall of the frontal sinus and were connected with osteotomy [Figure 3], thereby a pedicled osteoplastic flap was raised exposing the frontal sinus [Figure 4].
