abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Studying the method to treat the sinus mucoceles invaded in orbit with marsupialization under nasal endoscope, and determing the long-term efficacy of the endoscopic surgical treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-four patients underwent endoscopic wide marsupialization of the mucocele cavity. The postoperative cleaning were carried out according to ESS routine, the focus on preventing obstruction of sinus ostia and middle meatal adhesions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 years. There is no case of recurrence and orbital complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endoscopic approach with marsupialization to the treatment of sinus mucoceles invaded in orbit is associated with no rate of recurrence and no complication, and it is a reliable therapeutic measures. The aim of postoperative cleaning is at preventing obstruction of sinus ostia and middle meatal adhesions. Long time follow-up is needed.
