-Abstract-
Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are benign, expansile, and locally destructive
lesions that are thought to occur secondarily to obstruction of the sinus ostia. It
contained sterile, mucoid secretions. Secondary infection may lead to the development of
a pyocele.
Recently, we experienced a frontoethmoidal mucocele which extended into the orbit
and was satisfactorily treated endoscopically. Endoscopic surgery frontoethmoidal
mucocele affords the potential clinical significance for reducing operative morbidity of
because of minimal operation time and bleeding. Following surgery, direct endoscopic
visualization of the operated area enables accurate follow-up. Unlike to the sinus
obliteration, the ability to accurately image the sinus by CT scan is also preserved.
So, we report this case with a brief review of the literature.
