Ethmoid mucocele in an infant with a benign fibroosseous lesion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Bilateral frontal sinus mucocele.
A male patient aged 37 years with a history of cranioencephalic trauma 21 years ago, reports a left frontal tumor beginning 4 months ago. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion suggesting mucocele (Figure 1). The patient underwent endoscopic bilateral frontal ethmoid sinusectomy. The option was made for external left frontal ethmoidectomy due to intense bone sclerosis in the frontal reces...
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 کاملA rare cause of exophthalmos: cemento-ossifying fibroma.
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibroosseous lesion that contains fibrous tissue and calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum or both. It is frequently seen in the mandibula and maxilla, but it may rarely affect the ethmoid sinus. In this report, we presented computed tomography findings of an ossifying fibroma of the ethmoid sinus associated with exophthalmos. A 25-year-old woman prese...
متن کاملEndonasal endoscopic resection of ossifying fibroma involving the ethmoid sinus, orbit and anterior skull base: case report and literature review
Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumour that rarely involves the ethmoid sinuses and orbit. It is classified as a benign fibroosseous lesion, a term that is synonymous with a variety of lesions reported in the literature. Recurrence rate with deleterious effects in cases of extramandibular ossifying fibroma is the impetus for open en bloc resection of the tumour. Continuously evolvin...
متن کاملMucopyocele of the maxillary sinus
Mucoceles are defined as chronic, cystic lesions in the paranasal sinuses. When the mucocele content becomes infected, the lesion is defined as mucopyocele. Most mucoceles are located in the frontal and anterior ethmoid sinuses and normally they involve the frontal-ethmoid complex, expanding to the superior-medial region of the orbit, leading to ocular disorders; maxillary sinus presentation is...
