[Mucocele caused by postraumatic orbitary herniation].
Sinusal mucoceles are expansive lesions related to ostium sinus obstruction and treatment is surgical. We present a case of frontal mucocele secondary to ostium drainage obstruction due to herniated orbital content. This entailed difficulties for intranasal surgical resolution so a combined approach was used. The different surgical options for treating such cases are discussed.
