Resumen

El término mucocele hace referencia a una lesión crónica, pseudoquística y expansiva, cuya pared está formada por la mucosa del propio seno paranasal. El contenido de moco puede sobreinfectarse convertiéndose en un mucopiocele. La mayoría de mucoceles frontoetmoidales son tratados por vía externa, sin embargo, es posible abordar algunos casos seleccionados mediante cirugía endoscópica disminuyendo la morbilidad que se asocia a un abordaje externo. Presentamos un caso de mucopiocele con rápida expansión y erosión de la pared anterior del seno frontal. Diversos aspectos quirúrgicos del abordaje endoscópico y del seguimiento postoperatorio son analizados.

Palabras Clave:

Abstract

The term mucocele is applied to define a chronic, expanding, mucosa-lined lesion of the paranasal sinus characterized by mucous retention that can be infected becoming a mucopyocele. Until recently the majority of patients with frontoethmoidal mucoceles were treated through an external approach, however, selected cases of mucoceles can be approached endoscopically, decreasing the morbidity associated to external approaches. We report the case of a frontal mucopyocele with rapid expansion and erosion of the anterior wall. Surgical aspects and postoperative follow-up are described.

Key Words:
Mucopyocele
Fronto-ethmoidal mucoceles
Endoscopic sinus surgery
