Erosion of the wall of the frontal sinus caused by mucopyocele in cystic fibrosis.

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.

Sinus mucocele must be excluded by appropriate radiographic techniques when patients with cystic fibrosis have severe frontal headache and acute ophthalmologic symptoms.
