5 patients (1 woman, 4 men) with mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses were hospitalized in ENT Department in Kalisz from 1992 to 2001. In two cases mucocele was in frontal sinus and penetrated to orbita, in next two cases it was in maxillary sinus. In the case of woman mucocele was in ethmomaxillary complexus and destroyed medial and inferior orbit's walles. All patients were operated and completely cured.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed 10 patients with paranasal sinus mucoceles that extended into the orbit or cranial regions, highlighting the potential complications associated with these cases.
- The majority of patients were older adults, particularly women, experiencing symptoms like pain and visual problems, with detailed imaging revealing significant sinus involvement.
- Surgical treatment, mainly through endoscopic sinus surgery, showed successful results with symptom relief, few complications, and no signs of recurrence, underscoring the need for careful evaluation and follow-up in such cases.
