Is there still a role for cranialization in modern sinus surgery?

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To give an overview of recently published literature on the indications and use of cranialization of the frontal sinuses.
RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies on cranialization have evaluated its role in frontal sinus fractures, inflammatory disease, and tumors involving both the frontal sinus and anterior cranial fossa. Currently, a more conservative approach is favored with traumatic injury to the frontal sinus outflow tract, with multiple studies demonstrating outflow recanalization with observation alone. Similarly, advancements in endoscopic sinus surgical approaches allow the many posterior table fractures to be managed without cranialization. Severe inflammatory disease of the frontal sinus including giant mucoceles with frontal lobe compression have successfully been managed without cranialization in multiple studies suggesting an endoscopic surgical approach can be favored in these settings. Both benign and malignant tumors of the frontal sinus are managed without cranialization with select cases favoring an open approach with cranialization depending on tumor location. Malignant tumors of t he frontal sinus are more likely to require cranialization as oncologic resection including margins can lead to large dural defects with significant tissue loss, which is unfavorable for more conservative reconstructive options.
SUMMARY: Cranialization remains a necessary and indicated procedure in the appropriate clinical circumstances. A more conservative approach to frontal sinus fractures is warranted, with recent literature supporting similar outcomes and less morbidity. Inflammatory disease of the frontal sinus including giant mucoceles with frontal lobe compression can be managed without cranialization. Although most benign tumors can be resected via endoscopic approaches, cranialization remains a mainstay as part of the reconstructive plan after oncologic resection of malignant tumors involving the frontal sinus.
