Abstract
Mucocele is a benign cyst-like lesion of the paranasal sinuses that occurs due to obstruction of the anastomoses and is characterized by a locally destructive effect. The treatment consists of a surgical method, with a transition from external access to an endoscopic endonasal approach. Mucocele can exist as an independent disease of the paranasal sinuses or as a complication after previously performed surgical interventions on the paranasal sinuses. This article will present an analysis of the factors leading to the formation of this formation, as well as several clinical observations.
