Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Mucoceles are epithelial lined sacs that contain mucous. Eventually, they can be infected and so called mucopyoceles, which are usually slow growing lesions with common bone destruction located in the facial sinus. Mucoceles show multivariate etiology and occur between the fourth and seventh decade of life.
CASE DESCRIPTION: Patient, 55-year-old, female, was referred unconscious with Cushing's triad to our department; she had fever since four days. The findings of skull computer tomography highlighted a large bifrontal lesion with an invasion of the rear wall of the frontal sinus, compression of the frontal lobes, and midline deviation. She was taken for an emergency surgery, which showed invasion of the dura and mucous infection. Postoperatively, there was a fast recovery of neurologic level and extubation on the second postoperative day. She took antibiotics for 14 days and was discharged from the hospital without neurologic deficits.
CONCLUSIONS: Mucopyoceles are usually slow growing lesions that rarely increases rapidly. Our patient presented signs of intracranial hypertension; therefore, it was necessary to have quick surgical intervention.
