More Information
Summary:The CT scan revealed a collection in the right frontal sinus with thickening of the sinus mucosa completely obstructing the ostium (Fig. 1). Since the patient had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery unsuccessfully multiple times, conventional (open) technique was opted for. [...]procerus muscle flap was used to close the anterior aspect of sinus (Fig. 8). The principles of treatment include sanitation of the mucocele with prevention and management of possible intracranial or intraorbital complications, drainage of the mucocele into the nose, either by preservation or extension of the natural nasofrontal duct.
