“…According to various published literatures, about 66 percent of mucocele occur in the frontal sinuses, about 25 percent occur in the ethmoid sinuses, 10 percent in the maxillary sinuses, and only a small percentage in the sphenoid sinuses [2][3][4][5][6]. In our study the most common type of mucocele was frontal sinus mucocele seen in 9 out of 16 cases (56.25%).…”

“…Radical approaches to the frontal sinus include various Riedel, Lothrop, Caput Meyer and Osteoplastic procedures. 11,12 In 1989 Kennedy came out in favor of endoscopic management of mucoceles. This approach is minimally invasive and preserves sinus architecture and has increased the safety and efficacy of intranasal marsupialization including those with intracranial or intraorbital extension.…”

Background: Paranasal sinus mucoceles are quite rare and a comprehensive study regarding their incidence, presentations, management and complications is significantly lacking in our geographical area which led to our prospective study. Fronto-ethmoidal mucoceles are the most common expansile lesions of the paranasal sinuses.Methods: This is a prospective study of 25 cases of patients presenting with fronto-ethmoidal mucoceles in a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad. All patients were managed surgically through endoscopic approach. Results: The study comprised of 25 cases of fronto-ethmoidal mucoceles. The average age of the patients was 47.72 years with a range of 21–75 years. 16 patients (64%) were females. The most common involvement was of frontal sinus (16 cases, 64%). The most common presenting symptom was displacement of eyeball (68% cases). The most common presenting sign was proptosis, present in 68% cases. Endoscopic sinus surgery was the most commonly used modality of treatment of frontal mucocele and fronto-ethmoidal mucoceles (23 cases). In 2 cases combined approach surgery (endoscopic and external) was done.Conclusions: Mucoceles most commonly occur between 4th to 7th decades of life. In most cases no predisposing factor is identified. The diagnosis is based on the history, physical examination and radiological findings. CT is the preferred imaging modality for mucoceles.Endoscopic endonasal surgery is currently the most commonly used surgical approach.

“…The obstruction can result from congenital anomalies, chronic rhinosinusitis, previous radiotherapy and/or surgical treatment, trauma, and sinonasal neoplasms (Johnson & Ferguson, 1998;Maroldi et al, 2005). Moreover, congenital illnesses such as cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia are considered predisposing factors for occurrence of mucoceles (Guttenplan & Wetmore, 1989;Thomé et al, 2000;Nicollas et al, 2006;Olze et al, 2006;. Mucoceles occur more frequently in the fourth and fifth decade of life, with a similar distribution in both sexes.…”
