Mucoceles, benign cystic lesions with pseudo-stratified epithelial lining, typically arise due to chronic sinus ostia obstruction. Mucoceles can cause expansive erosion and, in severe cases, intracranial or intraorbital extension. Here, we present a case of delayed frontal mucocele formation following head trauma, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical intervention. Treatment involves careful mucocele removal and cranialization or obliteration of sinuses. Meticulous reconstruction using various materials ensures optimal cosmetic outcomes.
