A Sphenoid Mucocele with Bilateral Ophthalmic Symptoms
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus are relatively rare and it is diffcult to dignose them with the history of the illness of with the physical examination alone. However, if it is not treated rapidly, it may give rise to visual loss, extraocular
motor
disturbance of other ophthalmic sequalae. Recently, we experienced a case of mucocele originating from the shpenoid sinus, which was managed by functional endonasal sinus surgery-marsupialization. We obtained satisfactory results after steroid
treatments were applied on the post-operative visual disturbance of the left eye and the pre-operative occular motion disturbance of the right eye.
