“…The mechanism in the development of mucocele is not clear, but postulated as the obstruction of the sinus initiates its development. There are other theories about its etiology, including cystic degeneration of epithelial mucus glands, or cystic degeneration of an inflammatory polyp 2,5,10) . The presenting symptoms are primarily caused by compression on the adjacent structures.…”

J Korean Neurosurg Soc 48 : [360][361][362] 2010 A sphenoid mucocele often presents late due to its deep seated anatomical site. And it has varied presentation due to its loose relationship to the cavernous sinus and the base of the skull. We describe a case of large sphenoid sinus mucocele. A middle aged old man suddenly developed third cranial nerve palsy. Brain imaging study revealed an isolated sphenoid sinus mucocele, compressing right cavernous sinus. Endoscopic marsupialization of the mucocele via transnasal approach led to complete resolution of the third cranial nerve palsy. Involvement of the third cranial nerve in isolated mucocele is rare but important neurosurgical implications which must be excluded. In addition, proper and timely treatment must be performed to avoid permanent neurologic deficit. KEY WORDS :Sphenoid sinus mucocele˙ Third nerve palsy˙ Transnasal approach.

“…[1] Paranasal sinus mucocoeles are very rare in children and sphenoid mucocoeles make up only 1 -2% of all paranasal sinus mucocoeles in all age groups. [2] To date, only 13 cases of paediatric sphenoid mucocoeles have been documented from 9 articles in the English literature.…”
