Summary A case of a child with allergic asthma and mucocele of the paransal sinus who developed orbital hypertelorism is presented. The association between allergy and asthma and the formation of mucoceles is discussed and a possible mechanism for the development of orbital hypertelorism during adolescence is suggested. The management of mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses during craniofacial surgery is described. The need for long-term follow-up is emphasized.
