AI Article Synopsis
- Mucoceles are benign cysts that form when the sinus openings get blocked, leading to potential complications like erosion and expansion into surrounding areas.
- The case presented highlights the development of a frontal mucocele after head trauma, stressing the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
- Treatment usually involves removing the mucocele and may require procedures to reconstruct the area to ensure good cosmetic results.
Article Abstract
Mucoceles, benign cystic lesions with pseudo-stratified epithelial lining, typically arise due to chronic sinus ostia obstruction. Mucoceles can cause expansive erosion and, in severe cases, intracranial or intraorbital extension. Here, we present a case of delayed frontal mucocele formation following head trauma, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical intervention. Treatment involves careful mucocele removal and cranialization or obliteration of sinuses. Meticulous reconstruction using various materials ensures optimal cosmetic outcomes.
