Objective: To study the prevalence of anatomical variants in frontal recess region and their impact on frontal sinus surgery. Setting: University referral center. Patients and Methods: This was a clinical trial prospective study approved by Menoufia University research ethics board (REB) and included 50 Egyptian patients selected from the ENT department of Menoufia University between June 2011 to November 2014, who were suffering from chronic frontal sinusitis. Preoperative CT with coronal, axial and sagittal cuts were examined to show anatomical variants. Frontalsinusotomy was doneendoscopically and surgicall easiness was evaluated. Results: Increased aggernasi cell size was associated with increased operative easiness. Increase danteroposteri or diameter of frontal sinus ostium was associated with increased operative easiness.Type3frontoethmoidal air cell and interfrontal sinusseptal cells were more difficult in surgery than other frontoethmoidal air cells. Operativeeasiness correlated with different types of uncinate process superior attachment. Conclusions: Preoperative meticulous study of CT is very important for decision making in endoscopic frontal sinus surgery. Each anatomical variant in frontal recess area can be a predictor for operative easiness.
