There were 4 females and 3 males aged between 22 and 78 (95% CI [31.44, 70.23]). Initial symptoms, their duration, clinical presentation upon admission, localization of the mucocele, type of surgical intervention and outcome have all been studied.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The localization of the mucocele was frontal (2 cases), fronto-ethmoidal (2 cases), ethmoidal (1 case) and spheno-ethmoidal (2 cases). Risk factors were identified in 4 cases. Endoscopic marsupialization of the mucocele was performed in 5 cases. One patient with intracranial extension of frontal mucocele was treated via right frontobasal craniotomy. One of the patients refused surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Endoscopic marsupialization should be considered as a method of choice in cases with mucoceles without extensive intracranial invasion. This approach offers adequate drainage, balloon dilatation of the natural sinus openings that prevents future recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/folmed-2017-0077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,18]],"date-time":"2018-04-18T22:16:03Z","timestamp":1524089763000},"page":"147-153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Mucocele of the Paranasal Sinuses \u2013 Retrospective Analysis of a Series of Seven Cases"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Karen B.","family":"Dzhambazov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Borislav D.","family":"Kitov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hristo B.","family":"Zhelyazkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikoleta I.","family":"Traykova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivo I.","family":"Kehayov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanya T.","family":"Kitova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref21","first-page":"2015","article-title":"NL pathologist s perspective on mucocele of frontal sinus a case report","volume":"40","author":"Shah","journal-title":"PS Int J Int Med Res"},{"key":"ref191","first-page":"129","article-title":"chirurgie des mucoc\u00e8les sinusiennes : notre exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 propos de cas suivis \u00e0 moyen terme","volume":"20","author":"Facon","year":"2008","journal-title":"Rev"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"135","article-title":"Frontal sinus mucocele with orbital complications : Management by varied surgical approaches Asian","volume":"7","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"ref101","first-page":"360","article-title":"Isolated sphenoid sinus mucocele presenting as third nerve palsy","volume":"11","author":"Lee","year":"2010","journal-title":"Soc"},{"key":"ref01","first-page":"1","article-title":"rare cause of diminished vision : large spheno -
