Tóm tắt

Two cases of chronic infection of the frontal bone and sinus are presented after resection of a tumour within the ethmoid bone and neurosurgical intervention for an aneurysm. Both were treated radically by means of a microvascular muscle transplant. Postoperative monitoring of one buried muscle transplant was done by the use of evoked muscle action potentials.
