Orbital cellulitis is an acute inflammation of the orbital content with exophthalmos, chemosis, blepharedema, reduction of eyeball motility and generalized illness, occasionally with fever. It is predominantly transmitted from the ENT region and rarely occurs as a complication after a scleral buckling procedure. The patient concerned contracted orbital cellulitis many years after scleral buckling because the cerclage was infected. Alterations to the sclera with atrophy and thinning in the context of myopia were probably favorable factors for development.

Mucocoeles are chronic mucosa-lined retention cysts that occur due to sinus ostium obstruction and expand along the path of least resistance, most commonly involving the frontal sinus. A frontal mucocoele typically appears as a smooth and rounded expansile enlargement of a completely opacified frontal sinus, with or without thinning of the bony wall of the sinus. Here we report a rare case of isolated intracranial mucocoele that presented with posterior herniation to the anterior cranial fossa through a small bony defect on the posterior table of the frontal sinus. The findings upon imaging could easily be confused with intracranial abscess, potentially leading to craniotomy drainage. In the present case of mucocoele, the frontal intracranial lesion was completely resolved following endoscopic frontal sinusotomy.
