Mucoceles are expansile masses originating in the sinuses. They are relatively unusual, occurring most frequently at fronto-ethmoidal region. They are locally destructive. This expansile lesion caused bony erosion and displaces the adjacent structures. We report a case of a patient who presented to our clinic with bulging of his left eye and worsen...

... tomograph (CT) scan revealed an extraco- nal lesion at the superolateral part of the left orbital cavity which pushed the orbit inferomedially ( Figure 1). The mass was in continuity with the left frontal sinus mass through the defect in the superior orbital wall. There was also underlying pansinusitis with pol- yps in the middle meatus, maxillary antrum, ethmoids and frontal sinuses. He was offered surgical removal of the left frontomucocele. Intraoperatively, a bicoronal incision was made and flap rose anteriorly. There was a cystic-like mass at the lateral part of the orbital ridge. As only the ante- rior part of the mass was visualized, a better exposure was needed. The 1 x 2 cm window (1st window) was created at the lateral part of the left supraorbital ridge. The cystic-like mass was removed and noted that there was a continuation of the orbital cavity with the frontal sinus. After passing the scope medial- ly, there were multiple polyps noted in the left fron- tal sinus. Orbital wall reconstruction was not ...

Paranasal sinus mucoceles are slowly expanding cystic lesions leading to sinus expansion, bony erosion and ultimately extension into the orbit and cranial cavity. Mucoceles account for 4 to 8.5% of expanding orbital lesions, with frontal and ethmoidal sinuses as the most common sites. We describe a large frontoethmoidal mucocele that presented with...
Paranasal sinus mucocele is slowly expanding cystic lesions leading to sinus expansion, bony erosion and extension into the orbit, cranial cavity or into subcutaneous tissue. Mucoceles most commonly involve the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses. We describe a frontal mucocele presenting with forehead subcutaneous cystic mass which was successfully mana...
