Mucocele has its origin by blockage of the paranasal sinuses ostium with mucinous retention inside, sometimes purulent (mucopiocele), and progressive slimming with gradual destruction on the bone walls. We report an own review of 7 patients with diagnosis of frontoethmoidal mucocele, 4 men and 3 women, 50-years average. The oftalmologic clinical symptoms (diplopia, exoftalmos and the eyeball movement restrictiv) were the most frequentjointly to cefalea. The kind of surgery that we have performed, in 6 of 7 cases, was FES with marsupialization (4 times) and external ethmoidectomy (2). We have performes a literature review at this respect.
