Giant mucoceles of the frontal sinus are rare but their recognition is important in the differential diagnosis of proptosis and fronto-orbital lesions. We describe a patient with frontal giant mucocele with intracranial as well as orbit and ethmoid sinus involvement. A 53-year-old male was admitted with headache, right exophthalmos and ophthalmoplegia. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a giant frontal sinus mucocele with extension into the left anterior cranial fossa and orbit. The mucocele was treated with a transcranial and endoscopic transnasal approach.


Dev frontal piyomukosel

Frontal sinüsün dev mukoseli ender görülmekle birlikte propitozis ve frontal-orbital lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında önemlidir. İntrakraniyal, orbital ve etmoid sinüse taşan frontal dev mukoseli olan bir olgu sunulmaktadır. Elli üç yaşındaki erkek hasta başağrısı, sağ ekzoftalmi ve oftalmopleji ile başvurmuştur. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede sol ön kraniyal fossaya ve orbitaya taşan dev frontal sinüs mokoseli saptanmıştır. Mukosel transkraniyal ve endoskopik transnazal yaklaşımla tedavi edilmiştir.
