Hello doctor. I live in Ca Mau, my mother had a general examination at a hospital in Bac Lieu, the doctor concluded that she had a frontal sinus cyst. Previously, my mother and I had a sinus infection with headache symptoms and had taken medicine for a long time, but it still didn't go away. Doctor tell me what is frontal sinus cyst? Is it dangerous and requires surgery? After the examination, my mother and I were very worried, because the doctor at the place where my mother examined me asked for an operation. The doctor explained and guided me. Thank you very much doctor!

Hello, from what you said, you can temporarily think that your mother has frontal sinusitis and may have a mucinous tumor or fungus in the sinuses (the frontal sinus cyst that you say). In the case of common frontal sinusitis, medical treatment can give quite good results. In case there is fungus in the sinuses or mucinous tumors (most of them are benign), it is necessary to combine surgical treatment with sinus surgery.
I need to take my mother to visit with an Ear - Nose - Throat doctor of the hospital under Vinmec Health System for accurate advice and the most optimal treatment.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your worries with the question “What is a frontal sinus cyst? Is it dangerous and requires surgery?” I wish your mother good health.
