Brunori, S. de Santis, P. Bruni, A. Delitala, R. Giuffre, F. Chiappetta] Summary: Paranasal sinuses osteomas are known as biological benign tumours. However, due to the peculiar anatomical relationships, patients harbouring an osteoma within the frontal sinus are exposed to serious orbital and intracranial complications. We report two unusual cases of intracranial mucocoeles associated with frontal osteomas. In one of them, a superposed tension aerocoele required emergency surgery. Although aggressive treatment of asymptomatic osteomas is not warranted, these lesions must be carefully observed and resected as soon as they show clinical and/or radiological signs of progression. The physiopathological and clinical aspects are discussed.
