An ethmoid mucocele causing diplopia
نویسندگان
چکیده
RATIONALE Mucocele is a disease lined primarily by epithelium, and occurs mainly when the sinus ostium is obstructed. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of a 37-year-old man who presented with painless proptosis of the right eye and diplopia. DIAGNOSES The preoperative finding was mucocele of the ethmoid sinus. INTERVENTIONS We performed endoscopic sinus surgery, which included uncapping of the anterior and superior wall of the mucocele. OUTCOMES The mucocele was treated safely and effectively without touching the medial orbital wall. LESSONS Clinicians should note that minimally invasive surgery to remove ethmoid mucoceles is relatively straightforward and can prevent the various complications associated with these lesions.

Orbital apex syndrome caused by ethmoid sinus mucocele: a case report and review of literature
Ethmoid sinus mucoceles are benign, expansile and cyst-like lesions, when sufficiently large, may causing compression of the optic nerve and nearby structures. We report an extremely rare case of ethmoid sinus mucocele causing orbital apex syndrome. A 59-year-old female presented with over one month history of left-side headache that worsened with left-side ophthalmodynia for six days, accompan...
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...

We present a case of ethmoid mucocele occurring in a two-month-old child, and associated (presumably causally) with a benign fibroosseous lesion of the ethmoid bone. These two conditions may be more frequently associated than previously recognized; MR greatly facilitates their evaluation.
متن کاملSudden Hemianopsia Secondary to Ethmoid Sinus Mucocele
Paranasal sinus mucoceles are benign cystic lesions, filled with mucus, occurring due to an obstruction of involved sinus ostium. They are indolent, locally expansive, and destructive. Surgical treatment must be performed and, when done at the correct time, may prevent sequelae. We present a case of ethmoid sinus mucocele with orbit involvement and permanent optical nerve injury.
متن کامل[Clinical analysis and surgical results of 58 paranasal sinus mucoceles].
INTRODUCTION Mucoceles are slow-growing, benign lesions found in the paranasal sinuses that are locally destructive, causing bony resorption an displacement of adjacent structures. We present our experience in the surgical treatment of these lesions. METHODS This was a retrospective review of 58 paranasal sinus mucoceles in 54 patients between 1989 and 2012. We describe patient age and sex, m...
