Abstract

ABSTRACTMucoceles are thought to arise as a consequence of obstruction and inflammation. Frontoethmoidal mucocele can present with multiple symptoms that also include ophthalmic symptoms. Though benign, they have the tendency to expand by thinning the bony walls, displace and invade the surrounding structures by pressure and bony erosions. When it involves the orbit and expands, it may mimic benign growths primarily arising from orbit. We report an acute presentation of fronto-ethmoido-orbital mucocele as a result of hemorrhage into the mucocele.How to cite this articleSasindran V, Joseph A, Moosankutty S, Gautam A.
