A number of external and radical procedures have been the only surgical approaches for the treatment of frontal sinus mucoceles. However, these procedures have major complications including high surgical morbidity, esthetic concerns of postoperative scar formation, and difficulty in radiologic diagnosis of recurrence after obliteration. In this clinical report, we demonstrated an endoscopic marsupialization technique that could easily be applied to a very large mucocele that has extended to the intracranial region, without any serious complications.

Decedent positive identification via visual comparisons of frontal sinus radiographs is commonly used in the medicolegal field; however, only a handful of studies have empirically tested this method. This study aimed to test the accuracy of visual assessment in frontal sinus identifications across a large and experientially diverse participant sample. A Qualtrics survey presented participants with 25 pairs of cropped frontal sinus radiographs, asking them to determine if they matched and their confidence level.

Purpose: To explore available literature on PNS mucoceles and its distortions of craniofacial-orbital anatomy with regard to orbital bony defects and ophthalmic manifestations, highlighting the PNS mucoceles that mostly result in these distortions.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in June 2024 for available literature on the subject matter viz.; Google Scholar, PubMed and Medline, and Cochrane Library.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, leading to seizures, hemiparesis, and cognitive deficits. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of chronic seizure disorder and left-sided hemiparesis. The patient experienced her first seizure at 6 months of age, followed by recurrent generalized tonic seizures throughout childhood.
