Frontal sinus injuries are notorious for their early and late complications. Improper management can be potentially fatal with development of meningitis or formation of mucopyoceles. Cosmetic defect is also considerable. We herewith present our successful experience in the management of three cases of frontal sinus fractures with naso frontal duct involvement. All three cases were exentrated of the mucous apparatus, obliterated, the duct patency obliterated and the outer table is fixed rigidly. No early or late complications were encountered and the patients were symptom free, six months after the treatment, establishing the success of the treatment procedure.
