Mucocele has its origin by blockage of the paranasal sinuses ostium with mucinous retention inside, sometimes purulent (mucopiocele), and progressive slimming with gradual destruction on the bone walls. We report an own review of 7 patients with diagnosis of frontoethmoidal mucocele, 4 men and 3 women, 50-years average. The oftalmologic clinical symptoms (diplopia, exoftalmos and the eyeball movement restrictiv) were the most frequentjointly to cefalea. The kind of surgery that we have performed, in 6 of 7 cases, was FES with marsupialization (4 times) and external ethmoidectomy (2). We have performes a literature review at this respect.

Article Synopsis
- - The report discusses two cases where sinonasal pathologies were mistaken for eye diseases: one case involved a 43-year-old male with a mucocele from previous surgeries, and the other a 72-year-old male with lymphoma, both showing eye-related symptoms like blurred vision.
- - It emphasizes the need for medical professionals to consider sinonasal issues when diagnosing patients with ocular symptoms, rather than jumping to conclusions.
- - Successful management of these cases required teamwork among specialists from various fields (otolaryngology, ophthalmology, radiology, and oncology) to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Valsalva-associated orbital compartment syndrome in the setting of orbital cellulitis, mucocele, or subperiosteal abscess has not been previously reported. A previously healthy girl presented with orbital cellulitis complicated by a subperiosteal abscess and frontoethmoidal mucocele. On the day of her planned orbitotomy and endoscopic sinus surgery, she developed a Valsalva-associated retrobulbar hemorrhage and elevated intraocular pressure after crying during a blood glucose fingerstick.
