Purpose: To highlight a rare but potentially serious complication of frontal sinus injuries.
Patient: A case of delayed post-traumatic frontal sinus mucopyocoele presenting with meningitis in a 23-year-old male patient is reported.
Discussion: The anatomy of the frontal sinus is described in relation to the pathogenesis of muco(pyo)coele formation and the relevant literature is reviewed.
The pathogenesis of frontal sinus mucopyocoele is assessed in 33 patients seen between 1958 to 1972. In 45% there has been previous frontal sinus surgery. The importance of the frontonasal duct and healthy mucosa is stressed.
