Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses is a slowly expanding benign lesion developing when there is impeded physiological drainage of the mucous produced by the epithelial lining of the paranasal sinuses, at the sinus ostium, which is an opening that connects the sinus to the nasal cavity. Aetiologies of ostial occlusion include infection, allergy, trauma, previous surgery, benign neoplasm (osteoma or fibrous dysplasia), and malignant or metastatic tumours. Mucoceles commonly develop in the frontal sinus (70–80 per cent), followed by the ethmoid (25 per cent), frontoethmoidal (10–14 per cent), and maxillary (three per cent or less) sinuses. The most common manifestations in these cases are ocular oedema, proptosis (22–83 per cent), and diplopia (28 per cent). Due to these ocular signs and symptoms, the optometrist may be first in line managing paranasal sinus disease patients, reducing the risk of permanent damage. A case report and review of frontoethmoidal mucocele will be discussed in this report, to include the role of the optometrist in its management and treatment.

Rationale: Mucocoeles of paranasal sinuses are expansile and destructive lesions which can present with a variety of symptoms. If not treated early, they may lead to various complications. Patient Concerns: This report presents a case of a 26-year-old male patient with complaints of swelling of the left eye and double vision for 18 months. Diagnosis: Diagnosis of frontoethmoidal mucocoele with an unusual presentation of lateral displacement of the eyeball and proptosis was made based on patient history, clinical examination, and computed tomography. Treatment: The case was managed conservatively with marsupialization of the mucocoele using the transnasal endoscopic approach. Outcome: Complete resolution of the Mucocoele and its associated symptoms was observed, and frontal sinus ostium was found to be patent and completely epithelialized in 12-month follow-up. Take-away Lessons: The endoscopic approach toward the management of frontoethmoidal mucocoele is an effective alternative to conventional surgery with less patient morbidity and mortality.
