Abstract

Frontal mucoceles are slow growing and locally agressive lesions. Mucoceles may destroy both anterior and posterior walls of the sinus and spread intraorbitally and intracranially. Treatment of the mucoceles includes complete removal of the cystic lining, re-establishment of normal drainage and control of the infection with systemic antibiotherapy. In this article, we present a case of giant frontal mucopyocele extending to the orbita and anterior cranial fossa and discuss the treatment modality applied.
