Neurosurgery
Ophthalmology

Background:

Mucoceles are chronic, expanding, mucosa-lined lesions of the frontal sinus filled with secretion.
Infected mucoceles, or pyomucoceles, represent a significant clinical challenge due to potential complications.

Observation:

A 48-year-old female presented with a 1.5-year history of right periorbital and frontal swelling.
Radiological and exploratory examinations confirmed an infected mucocele of the frontal sinus.

Findings:

Endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia was performed for the pyomucocele.
The patient demonstrated a complete recovery one year post-surgery with no recurrence of the disease.

Implications:

Endoscopic sinus surgery is an effective treatment for infected frontal sinus mucoceles.
Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable patient outcomes.
This case highlights the successful management of a complex sinonasal lesion.
