Abstract

The supraorbital ethmoid cell its an anatomical variation with different frecuency for diverse populations. It represents a challenge for the endoscopical functional :surgery of the frontal sinus. The supraorbital ethmoid cell presents an estable anatomical rela- tionship with the anterior ethmoidal artery, serving as a dependable anatomical marker for the surgical approach. We stand out the importance to consider the presence of bony septations in the frontal sinus that might suggest the presence of the supraorbital ethmoid cell. We introduce a clinical case from a patient who had an expansive process from a mucocele in the supraorbital ethmoid cell.
