Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Frontal sinus mucoceles commonly manifest with orbital complications. Intracranial complications, though rare, are significant in the differential diagnosis. Tumefactive and giant mucoceles can resemble intracranial tumors. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 24-year-old male patient who initially presented to our institution after experiencing a single generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Initial imaging revealed large masses in both frontal lobes. Surgical intervention revealed mucoceles originating from the frontal and paranasal sinuses. DISCUSSION: Mucoceles are often misdiagnosed due to the wide variety of symptoms they can present. In particular, the tumefactive type of mucoceles can present brain tumors both clinically and radiologically. CONCLUSION: Mucoceles can manifest as tumefactive lesions, mimicking intracranial masses, and may present as perplexing neurological conditions.
