Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses.

Unilateral Frontal and Ethmoidal Mucoceles of the Paranasal Sinuses in a Seventy-Four-Year-Old Man (Case Report)

Introduction: Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are relatively rare. A very busy otolaryngology department does not have more than a few cases each year. Bilateral, multiple, and multiloculated cases are extremely unusual. Case Presentation: We report a 74-year-old man with two separate mucoceles in left ethmoid and frontal sinuses with pansinusitis. After marsupialization of mucoceles and fun...

Bilateral asymmetric mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses: a first case report.

Bilateral paranasal sinus mucoceles are rare. To date, only 5 cases have been reported in the English-language literature. All were bilaterally symmetrical. We present a patient with bilateral asymmetric mucoceles. This patient had a symptomatic mucocele of the right ethmoid sinus with orbital extension and an asymptomatic mucocele involving the left maxillary sinus with retroorbital extension....

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses: MR imaging with CT correlation.

The MR findings in six cases of paranasal sinus mucoceles are described. Two basic MR appearances were encountered: either moderate to marked signal hypointensity in the expanded sinuses on T1- and T2-weighted images (four patients) or moderate to marked signal hyperintensity on T1- and T2-weighted images (two patients). These patterns appear to represent inspissated or hydrated sinus contents,...

Destructive Giant Maxillary Sinus Mucocele: A Case Report

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are locally aggressive, cystic, benign lesions. They mainly occur in the frontal or anterior ethmoidal sinuses, and more rarely in the maxillary sinus. Chronic sinus inflammation, trauma, previous surgery and allergic disease are common causes of paranasal mucoceles. Giant mucoceles of the maxillary sinus causing bone destruction are extremely rare in patients...
