This report describes a rare occurrence of benign fibrous histiocytoma in the frontal sinus of a 38-year-old male. The patient presented with acute symptoms, including sudden-onset headache, nausea, and general discomfort, although neurological, otorhinolaryngological and laboratory examinations showed no abnormalities. A cranial CT scan revealed a cystic, osteodestructive lesion measuring 2.

Sinus mucoceles are nonmalignant cystic tumors lined by non-neoplastic epithelium, typically involving the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Although it is common for these mucoceles to cause destruction of surrounding bone tissue due to their growth, cerebrospinal fluid leaks resulting from skull base penetration by an ethmoid sinus mucocele have rarely been reported. A 24-year-old male patient presented with right proptosis and right periorbital pain, who underwent bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery 12 years ago.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the complications and associated injuries following the surgical treatment of frontal sinus fractures in adults across the U.S. from 2010 to 2022.
- Out of 1492 adult patients analyzed, a notable percentage faced complications within 90 days post-surgery, with common issues like surgical site infections and meningitis.
- Complex and concomitant fractures were linked to a higher chance of complications, suggesting that the severity of the injury plays a significant role in patient outcomes.
Paranasal Sinus Mucoceles With Intraorbital and Intracranial Involvement: A Case Series Analysis and Surgical Outcomes Assessment.

Department of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.
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.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: Frontal sinus fractures (FSFs) can lead to a range of clinical challenges, including facial deformity, impaired facial sensation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, sinus drainage impairment, chronic sinus pain and mucocele formation. The optimal management approach, whether surgical or conservative, remains a topic of ongoing discussion.
