Double mucocele of the paranasal sinuses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have observed two contiguous mucoceles in one patient. Based on the mucoceles' signal intensities on MR imaging, as well as their anatomic location as delineated by CT and MR, we hypothesize that the "downstream" mucocele obstructed the "upstream" sinus, leading to formation of a secondary mucocele.

متن کاملParanasal sinus mucocele.
Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses is a distinct clinicopathologic entity in which there is obstruction of the sinus cavity outflow tract, resulting in expansion of the sinus walls. The histologic features are quite nonspecific, requiring clinical, radiologic, and pathologic correlation. Most of these lesions result from increased pressure in the sinus due to sinus outlet obstruction, usually as...
