    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Frontal sinus mucoceles can cause unilateral proptosis and diplopia. Multidisciplinary teams and surgical techniques, including abdominal fat grafting, offer effective treatment with no recurrence in a 5-year follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Frontal sinus mucoceles, though not rare, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Unilateral proptosis and diplopia are key indicators of paranasal sinus mucoceles, commonly affecting frontal and ethmoid sinuses.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of frontal sinus mucocele were analyzed, with one unusual presentation.
    • Symptoms included gradual unilateral proptosis, diplopia due to limited upward ocular motility, and epiphora.
    • One case showed paradoxical initial improvement with topical anti-inflammatory therapy.

    Findings:

    • A multidisciplinary team approach involving ophthalmologists, radiologists, otorhinolaryngologists, and neurosurgeons is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Surgical planning benefits from using a precut template from the Caldwell projection to delineate frontal sinus contours.

  • Abdominal fat grafting for frontal sinus cavity obliteration was successfully employed without postoperative fat necrosis.

    • Implications:

    • This study highlights the importance of considering frontal sinus mucoceles in cases of unilateral proptosis.
    • Effective management requires a collaborative team approach and tailored surgical techniques.
    • Long-term follow-up (5 years) demonstrated successful outcomes with no recurrence, validating the presented therapeutic strategy.
