Journal Title: Bengal Journal of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Mucoceles occur most frequently in the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses, without gender prevalence. Presenting symptoms can include facial pain, headache, nasal obstruction, diplopia, decreased visual acuity, orbital globe displacement, facial swelling and meningitis, depending on the anatomic area involved. The gold standard in terms of diagnostic precision is computed tomography scan. Case Report The present study describes case of frontoethmoidal mucocele with orbital involvement that was treated by transnasal endoscopic approach obtaining good outcomes, demonstrating safety and efficacy of this surgical approach. Conclusion Transnasal endoscopic management of mucoceles is preferred due to minimal trauma and less morbidity.
