LARGE FRONTOETHMOIDAL MUCOCOELE- A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 20
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Mucocoeles of the paranasal sinuses were first described by Langenbeck (1820) under the name of hydatides.1 Rollet (1909) suggested the name mucocoele. They have expansile nature with slow growth and may eventually compress important neighbouring structures such as orbit and intracranial cavity.2 On histopathology, they are cyst-like structures lined with respiratory epithelium and filled with mucus. Patients with mucocoeles in the frontoethmoidal region are referred to ophthalmic surgeons in the first instance due to orbital displacement. The orbital symptoms include proptosis, lateral displacement, inferior displacement, diplopia, limited ocular mobility and decreased visual acuity. The patients may also complain of facial pain and headache
