A member asked:
Possible bone spur on the forehead 3 years after trauma. slow growth. any special considerations prior to surgery? imaging? or just chisel it off
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forehead spur: Erik, bone trauma and a subperiosteal reactive osteoma would give a stony hard mass. There are benign tumors (osteomas) which present similarly. Not stony hard, other "zebras" are in play. If low, say over the midbrow (frontal sinus), safety is wise. The surgeon who just blindly wants to "chisel" it would be quite "maverick". Noncontrast ct is reassuring before forehead "chiseling". Good luck.
