“…[1][2][3] Mukosellerin etyolojisinde enflamasyon, alerji, travma, anatomik bozukluklar, daha önce geçirilmiş cerrahi, fibröz displazi, osteom veya ossifiye fibrom gibi birçok faktör olabilir. [4,5] Frontal mukoseller paranasal sinüs mukosellerinin en sık (%65) görülenleridir. Dev frontal mukoseller fronto-orbital kitlelerle ayırıcı tanısı yapılması gereken nadir görülen klinik durumlardır.…”

Frontal mukoseller, yavaş büyüyen ve lokal agresif seyir gösteren lezyonlardır. Mukoseller, sinüsün ön ve arka kemik duvarında erozyona neden olabilir, intraorbital ve intrakraniyal olarak yayılabilir. Mukoselin tedavisi; kist duvarının tamamen çıkarılması, normal drenajın yeniden sağlanması ve sistemik antibiyotiklerle enfeksiyonun kontrolünü içerir. Bu makalede, orbita ve ön kraniyal fossaya uzanımı olan dev frontal mukopiyosel olgusu sunuldu ve uygulanan tedavi yöntemi tartışıldı. Anahtar Sözcükler: Frontal sinüs; mukosel; mukopiyosel. 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.

Mucoceles are epithelial-lined cavities filled with sterile mucus that develop due to the obstruction of a sinus ostium. Frontal mucocele is one of the most common among mucoceles. Most of them present with ophthalmic manifestations. Here, we present such a case with ocular symptoms. Despite the absence of thyroid-related symptoms or significant medical history, her examination revealed left eye proptosis, limited ocular motility, optic disc edema, and significant visual loss due to optic nerve compression. Further investigations, including orbital computed tomography, confirmed a frontal mucocele extending into the left orbit. Following endoscopic sinus surgery with mucocele excision, the patient experienced significant improvement in vision, resolution of optic disc edema, and proptosis. This case underscores the importance of considering mucoceles in the differential diagnosis of orbital pathologies. It also highlights the efficacy of endoscopic management in achieving favorable outcomes and emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in optimizing patient care.
