Abstract
Mucoceles are benign lesions originating in the paranasal sinuses. Presented here is a novel case of a giant frontoethmoidal mucocele extending into the orbit and causing proptosis. The etiology was chronic transnasal cocaine abuse leading to extensive scarring and distortion of the nasal anatomy.
