Frontal Mucocele following Previous Facial Trauma with Hardware Reconstruction

الملخص EN

Mucoceles are cysts that can develop after facial bone fractures, especially those involving the frontal sinuses.

Despite being rare, mucoceles can result in serious delayed sequelae.

We present a case of a frontal mucocele that developed two years after extensive facial trauma following a motor vehicle crash (MVC) and review the emergency department (ED) evaluation and treatment of mucocele.

Early recognition, appropriate imaging, and an interdisciplinary approach are essential for managing these rare sequelae of facial trauma.
