“…A mucocele can become infected, with risk of infectious complications including orbital cellulitis, meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and brain abscess [3,4]. The infection stimulates production of cytokines, interleukin-1, and tumour necrosis factor from lymphocytes and monocytes, and increases synthesis of prostaglandin and collagenase from fi broblasts in the mucosal lining being responsible for the reabsorption and destruction of the sinus wall, allowing for the expansion of the mucocele [9]. In our case, after an initial negative culture, a Staphylococcus spp.…”

Computed Tomography Findings in a Case of Giant Frontal Sinus Mucopyocele in a Dog

et al. 2018

A 16-month-old male crossbreed dog, which suffered a previous traumatic incident, was presented for evaluation of a chronic fluctuant right supraorbitary mass. On computed tomography, a well-defined, expansile, hypodense mass, showing a thin peripheral enhancement was occupying the right frontal sinus and extending into the cranial cavity. Imaging findings, bacteriological culture, and histopathology of the surgically excised mass were consistent with a frontal sinus mucopyocele. Frontal sinus mucopyocele should be included as a differential diagnosis for a well-marginated expansile frontal sinus mass, especially when present in young animals or/and associated with a previous craniofacial trauma.

“…It is the fifth most common diagnosis for which an antibiotic is prescribed and accounted for 21% of all adult antibiotic prescriptions [25]. It is a common clinical condition which if left unattended to could result in various degrees of both morbidity and mortality [26, 27]. It could be infectious or non-infectious in etiology.…”

IntroductionThis study is aimed at determining the pattern of ear, nose and throat diseases and their relationship with socio-demographic factors with auditing intent in a tertiary hospital in South-western Nigeria.MethodsMedical records of patients managed at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria from 2006 to 2010 were reviewed for all essential clinical data.ResultsThere were 2641 (52.8%) males and 2360 (47.2%) females. Two thousand and fifty (41%) patients had age ≤15years old. Sixty three percent of the patients were Christians, 37% were Muslims and less than 1% had other religions. There were more patients in lower occupational classes than those in the upper classes. The average number of patients with ear, nose and throat diseases managed per month was eighty three. Patients with ear diseases were 3136 (62.7%), the nose diseases were 1153 (23.0%), the throat diseases were 479 (9.6%) and head/neck diseases were 233 (4.7%).ConclusionThis study showed that otitis media, obstructive adenoid, foreign bodies in the ear and throat infections were the common ear, nose, throat disorders seen in patients aged ≤15years whereas, hearing loss, rhinosinusitis and tumors were the common disorders of ear, nose and throat seen in patients aged 16 years and above. Although these disorders are not yet considered to be of public health importance, they contribute significantly to the existing burden of health problems in our environment. Therefore, there is a need for improved public awareness on ear, nose and throat diseases.

“…4 Mucoceles with secondary bacterial infections can be categorized as mucopyoceles. 5 In humans, paranasal sinus mucoceles arise most commonly from the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, with maxillary and sphenoid sinus mucoceles occurring less frequently. 6 Recent veterinary publications have added to our knowledge of this condition in small animals; however, to date, only eight cases have been reported in dogs and two cases in E76 cats.…”

An 8‐year‐old male neutered French Bulldog was referred for continued nasal dyspnea following a staphylectomy revision performed one month prior to presentation. The patient had a prior history of skin allergies and underwent brachycephalic airway surgery performed at one year of age. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an osseous‐encased, cystic mass arising from the right maxillary sinus. Surgical biopsies were performed and a mucocele with sinusitis and glandular hyperplasia was diagnosed. Based on our systematic review of the literature, maxillary sinus mucocele has not been reported in the dog and should be among the differentials for sinus cystic masses.
