Description A mucocele is formed when drainage of mucus from one of the paranasal sinuses becomes blocked by obstruction of its ostium. If the contents of a mucocele become secondarily infected, the resulting mass is called a pyocele or mucopyocele. A mucocele or pyocele may develop in any of the paranasal sinuses, and any of these sinuses may become primarily infected.
