“…Risk factor for mucocele formation includes chronic low grade infection, previous sinus surgery, allergy and trauma. Less commonly benign (cystic fibrosis) or malignant neoplasm resulting in obstruction of ostium can lead to formation of mucocele [5][6][7]. In most of the cases causative factors cannot be found as in our case.…”

Mucocele is a benign and expansile cystic lesion lined with respiratory mucosa of pseudo stratified columnar epithelium. Mucocele most commonly produces bone destruction within the paranasal sinuses. It mostly involves the frontal sinus followed by ethmoid and rarely sphenoid and maxillary sinuses. We report a case of giant ethmoid mucocele who presented with history of progressive unilateral protrusion of eye since 5 years. CT scan revealed a large mucocele of the ethmoid sinus with orbital extension on the same side. He was successfully treated with endoscopic sinus surgery.

“…This is followed by the ethmoid sinus with a rate of 20-25%, maxillary sinus at 5-10%, and sphenoid sinus at a rate of 5-10% (2). In pediatric patients, Nicollas et al (3) reported that mucoceles arose most frequently from the ethmoid sinus in their paranasal sinus mucocele case series, which comprised 10 pediatric patients. In our case, it was thought that the mucocele arose from the frontal sinus and extended towards the ethmoid sinus.…”

“…Nicollas et al (3) reported that mucoceles arose most frequently from the ethmoid sinus in their paranasal sinus mucocele case series, which was composed of 10 pediatric patients. Although mucoceles are benign, they may lead to damage in the surrounding bone structures in time (1,4).…”

Paranasal sinus mucoceles are mucus-containing cystic structures with an epithelial lining that completely fills in the paranasal sinuses. Although they are benign in nature, they may result in the destruction of the surrounding bony structures over time. Clinical findings such as exophthalmia, visual impairment, and diplopia occur due to pressure of the fronto-ethmoidal mucocele on the orbita. Currently, the endoscopic intranasal approach is preferred in the treatment of paranasal sinus mucoceles due to its minimal morbidity and low recurrence rates. Here, we present a patient aged 12 years who had a right fronto-ethmoidal mucopyocele secondary to a probable trauma 2 years prior, which resulted in proptosis due to pressure on the orbita.

“…The obstruction can result from congenital anomalies, chronic rhinosinusitis, previous radiotherapy and/or surgical treatment, trauma, and sinonasal neoplasms (Johnson & Ferguson, 1998;Maroldi et al, 2005). Moreover, congenital illnesses such as cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia are considered predisposing factors for occurrence of mucoceles (Guttenplan & Wetmore, 1989;Thomé et al, 2000;Nicollas et al, 2006;Olze et al, 2006;. Mucoceles occur more frequently in the fourth and fifth decade of life, with a similar distribution in both sexes.…”

“…For the treatment of recurrent or chronic rhinosinusitis in children, favorable results were obtained with endoscopic surgery (Lusk & Muntz, 1990;Wolf et al, 1995). During subsequent years, other diseases of sinuses were treated successfully with a nasal endoscopic surgical approach (Triglia & Nicollas, 1997Woodworth et al, 2004;Nicollas et al, 2006;Durmaz et al, 2008;Al-Mazrou et al, 2009;Presutti et al, 2009;Nicolai et al, 2010). In this chapter, a description of endonasal diagnostic techniques and a brief report of sinonasal disorders that may be effectively treated by FESS in pediatric patients are presented.…”
