Abstract: Mucoceles result from mucus and secretion accumulation inside cavities. The external expansion of frontal sinuses mucoceles leads to local swelling with a soft and poorly defined mass on palpation and also headaches, edema, seizures and ophthalmopathy. This article reports a case of gigant unilateral frontal mucocele in a 62-year-old man, with good therapeutical. The empyema was drained followed by marsupialization and reconstruction of the right orbital roof and periorbital region with a titanium mesh to achieve acceptable cosmetic results and protect the brain tissue. The option was for an open surgical approach with excellent postoperative clinical progress and symptom resolution.
