Three patients with cystic fibrosis had complete erosion of one of the walls of a frontal sinus caused by a mucopyocele. Only fibrous tissue then separated the purulent contents of the sinus from the orbit or central nervous system. Initial surgery was unsuccessful, but two patients have remained free of symptoms after a second obliterating procedure. Sinus mucocele must be excluded by appropriate radiographic techniques when patients with cystic fibrosis have severe frontal headache and acute ophthalmologic symptoms.
