A retrospective study.
Study Subjects:
Three patients with mucocele frontal and orbitary encroachment were treated with endoscopic and associated external approach. The follow-up period has been between 22 and 36 months.
Results:
Combined approach allow marsupialization and adequate repermeabilization of the nasofrontal duct.
