“…Drainage by endonasal sinus surgery is frequently performed if the lesion is large enough. 2,10) In our case, considering the anatomical relationship of the small flat mucocele covering the optic nerve, transcranial unroofing would be preferable to avoid injury to the optic nerve. 4) In addition, the epidural approach seems better than the intradural approach to avoid injury of the brain parenchyma, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and contamination of mucocele content into the CSF.…”

“…The microbiology of these complications differs from that of ARS. 825 Direct involvement or chronic inflammatory changes near the orbit can lead to enophthalmos, 826 epiphora, 827 diplopia, 828 proptosis, 829 optic neuropathy, 830,831 and vision loss. [832][833][834] Fungal or bacterial invasion along the skull base can lead to an epidural abscess or cavernous sinus thrombosis.…”

Background:The body of knowledge regarding rhinosinusitis (RS) continues to expand, with rapid growth in number of publications, yet substantial variability in the quality of those presentations. In an effort to both consolidate and critically appraise this information, rhinologic experts from around the world have produced the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICAR:RS). Methods:Evidence-based reviews with recommendations (EBRRs) were developed for scores of topics, using previously reported methodology. Where existing evidence was insufficient for an EBRR, an evidence-based review (EBR) was produced. The sections were then synthesized and the entire manuscript was then reviewed by all authors for consensus. Results:The resulting ICAR:RS document addresses multiple topics in RS, including acute RS (ARS), chronic RS (CRS) with and without nasal polyps (CRSwNP and CRSsNP), recurrent acute RS (RARS), acute exacerbation of CRS (AE-CRS), and pediatric RS. Conclusion:As a critical review of the RS literature, ICAR:RS provides a thorough review of pathophysiology and evidence-based recommendations for medical and surgical treatment. It also demonstrates the significant gaps in our understanding of the pathophysiology and optimal management of RS. Too o en the foundation upon which these recommendations are based is comprised of lowerlevel evidence. It is our hope that this summary of the evidence in RS will point out where additional research efforts may be directed. C 2016 ARS-AAOA, LLC.

“…Firstly, as a result of its proximity to the optic nerve, sinus infection of the Onodi cells can result in contiguous infection of the nerve and, in turn, optic neuropathy. Mucocoeles of Onodi cells have also been reported to cause unilateral as well as bilateral visual loss [15][16][17]. Secondly the risk of optic nerve injury, a devastating complication of endoscopic sinus surgery, is increased [14].…”
