Abstract
AbstractMucocele of the praranasal sinus is a slowly expanding epithelial-lined lesion containing inspissated mucus that fills the sinus cavity. It can erode bone and therefore may extend intraorbitally or intracranially. Mucocele develop when the mucous outflow from a sinus is obstructed. When a mucocele becomes infected, it is called a pyocele. Here we are presenting a case of frontal sinus mucocele developed following a trivial facial trauma, which later presented a pyocele. Diagnosis was confirmed with CT scan and the pyocele was treated with endoscopic marsupialization.
