Acute frontal sinusitis usually occurs in association with ethmoidal or maxillary sinusitis. The front nasal duct is tortuous and easily obstructed by mucosal oedema.

Predisposing factors are any abnormality that interferes with drainage of the frontal sinus, for example:

  • nasal septal deviation
  • large middle turbinate
