Abstract

The appearance of mucoceles of paranasal sinuses during infancy is very rare. In relation with a patient, 11-year-old, enduring an ethmoidal mucocele treated in our Department we benefit it in order to realize a review of the published cases in medical literature. We also discuss on the etiopathogenesis, clinic and differential diagnostic aspects in pediatric age in comparison of those verified in grown-up.
