Paranasal mucocele is a benign cystic lesion. Mostly in the fronto-ethmoidal sinuses. Mucocele of the nasal septum is extremely rare. We report a septum mucocele in a 20-year-old male presenting with bilateral nasal obstruction occurred after inferior turbunectomy. Clinical and radiological features are presented and discussed.
