“…Surgery with endonasal approach being a safe and effective procedure with less recurrence rate as the MMA with endoscopic marsupialization abolishes middle meatal obstruction and establishes better drainage and ventilation of the maxillary sinus and restitution of its mucosa [9]. It is also considered that Inferior Meatal Antrotomy (IMA) done simultaneously with MMA is a beneficial complementally surgical procedure as we did in this patient [10].…”

“…The osteoplastic approach combined with endonasal surgery is suitable for laterally located frontal or maxillary sinus mucopyoceles [6]. An external approach combined with endoscopic surgery is suitable in frontal mucoceles especially in distal sites and in case of recurrence [7]. Doing Middle Meatal Antrostomy (MMA) in maxillary sinus pyocele significantly reduces the recurrence rate [8].…”

Pyocele of maxillary sinus occurs unusually, when its mucocele content gets secondarily infected. Most of the pyocele occupies the frontal and anterior ethmoid sinus involving the frontal-ethmoidal complex expanding into the orbit leading to ocular disorders. Maxillary sinus presentation is rare, and our patient had a well defined loculated pyocele in her right maxillary sinus that we suspected with radiological images and was confirmed by needle aspiration under endoscopic guidance to the pyocele sac. Here we would like to describe more in detail about the nature of the mucopyocele in paranasal sinuses, its presentation and various surgical modalities of treating the pyocele.

“…After middle concha medialization, the middle meatal structures were identified using a 0˚endoscope. After uncinate process incision and resection using Blakesley-type forceps, we performed an infundibulotomy, as previously described (8). The ethmoid bulla was opened and completely resected bilaterally using a small forceps.…”

The paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelized cystic lesion containing fluid and is characterized by non-neoplastic expansion of the paranasal sinus due to its capacity to erode the overlying bone. Etiology of these lesions is still under debate. In this report, we described a case of a patient with frontal recess mucocele, associated with contralateral frontal recess osteoma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital with the complaints of a headache affecting the fronto-ethmoidal region, left-sided nasal obstruction, and postnasal discharge. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed a dense bony lesion in the left and a cystic hypodense mass in the right-sided frontal recess. The patient was treated surgically, with a combined endoscopicexternal approach, bilaterally. Histopathological examination showed that the wall of the cyst was mucocele, and the bony formation was osteoma. The frontal recess osteoma is regarded as the primary condition. Thus, better ventilation and drainage of the frontal sinus were reestablished.
