Abstract:
Traditional teaching has emphasized the need for complete removal of sinus mucocele to achieve a cure. With the introduction of endoscopic sinus surgical instruments and techniques, however, there has been a trend toward transnasal endoscopic management of frontal mucoceles with recurrence rates at or close to 0%. This article presents a useful classification of frontal mucoceles and the transnasal endoscopic surgical technique.
