Orbital tuberculosis in childhood with intracranial extension: a case report
The common causes of orbital masses in pediatric age group include pseudotumour, lymphomas, hemangioma and dermoid cyst. Orbital tuberculosis is rare especially in children. We report a case of 5 year old child who presented with proptosis and gross diminution of vision due to orbital tuberculoma. Ocular examination of the left eye revealed proptosis with the eyeball displaced downwards and for...
متن کاملFronto-orbital mucocele with intracranial extension: a case report
Frontal sinus mucoceles are benign, pseudocystic lesion deriving from the obliteration of the sinus ostium, resulting in a continuous mucous accumulation. The growing process of a mucocele leads to a progressive enlargement of the sinus cavity, thickening and eroding its bony walls up to invading the surrounding tissues. The surgical procedure through an endoscopic endonasal approach is the cur...
متن کاملAn unusual Case of Bilateral Ethmoidal Mucopyocele
Mucocele is defined as an epithelial-lined, mucus-containing benign sac completely filling the sinus and can be seen expanding to induce pressure effects on surrounding structures. Frontoethmoidal mucocele is by far the most common due to the complexity of its drainage, and incidence of maxillary mucocele is least. A 20-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of protruding right eyebal...
متن کاملComplicated fronto-orbital mucopyocele presenting with proptosis: a case report
Mucoceles are cystic lesions of the paranasal sinuses which develop as a result of accumulation of mucous secretion due to obstruction of the ostium of the sinuses. Despite their benign behavior, they may enlarge progressively and project into adjacent structures by destructing the bony walls of the sinuses. Frontal mucoceles may get infected and extend towards orbital cavity and compress the o...
متن کاملBenign orbital angiomatous tumors with intracranial extension
Orbital neoplasms with associated bone erosions and intracranial extension are generally considered suspicious for malignancies. Here, we describe the clinical and radiological findings, as well as the surgical management of two extraordinary cases, in which such bony perforations with subsequent intracranial tumor growth resulted from benign angiomatous orbital neoplasms. Two female patients, ...
