    This case report details a rare instance of extensive sinus mucoceles affecting multiple paranasal sinuses in a 56-year-old woman. Previous facial fractures were identified as the likely predisposing factor for these complex lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Sinus mucoceles are rare, benign, mucus-retention cysts that can affect the paranasal sinuses.
    • They often result from obstruction of sinus ostia, leading to mucus buildup and bone erosion.
    • Previous facial trauma is a recognized, though uncommon, predisposing factor.

    Observation:

    • A 56-year-old female patient presented with clinical and radiological evidence of mucoceles.
    • The mucoceles involved a rare combination of sinuses: left frontal, bilateral ethmoidal, sphenoidal, and right maxillary.
    • Radiological imaging (CT/MRI) confirmed the extent and location of the lesions.

    Findings:

    • The extensive involvement of multiple, bilateral paranasal sinuses is highly unusual.

  • The patient's history of prior facial fractures was considered the primary etiology.
  • Histopathological examination, though not detailed in the abstract, would typically confirm the diagnosis of mucocele.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering sinus mucoceles in patients with a history of facial trauma, even with extensive sinonasal involvement.
    • Accurate radiological assessment is crucial for defining the extent of disease and planning surgical management.
    • The rarity of this presentation warrants further investigation into the biomechanical effects of facial fractures on sinus drainage pathways.
