Parotid swelling is a common presentation in ENT clinic. Most of the cases involve pathology of the gland. There are not many reported cases about parotid duct pathology. We describe a case of a large parotid duct mucocele with a calculus. Excision of the mucocele and superficial parotidectomy was performed. The post-operative recovery was uneventful.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare clinical condition in which patients present with spontaneous enophthalmos and hypoglobus secondary to collapse of orbital floor due to chronic subclinical maxillary sinusitis. It is postulated that obstruction of the osteomeatal complex lead to negative antrum pressure which causes the maxillary sinus atelectasis.

Congenital absence of lacrimal puncta may be an isolated finding or associated with other developmental abnormality. Nasolacrirnal ducts can be absent thus predisposing to the formation of a congenital lacrimal mucocele. Punctal and canalicular agenesis is very rare. Four percent of new patients attending the lacrimal clinic at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK. from 1981 to 1990 inclusive were diagnosed to have this condition. We describe a case of bilateral congenital absence of lacrimal puncta with lacrimal mucocele. Combined surgery was carried out by Ophthalmologist and Otolaryngologist with successful results.

PMID: 21328215

We report the rare occurrence of bilateral asymmetrical mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses that resulted in a unilateral orbital complication. The patient was a 47-year-old woman who presented with complaints of diplopia, blurred vision, and protrusion of her right eye that had progressed over a period of several months following an upper respiratory tract infection. Computed tomography detected the presence of two large, asymmetrical mucoceles. The lesion on the right involved the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, and the one on the left involved the ethmoid sinus. The mucoceles were locally expansile and had eroded the surrounding bony structures on the right. The expansile nature of the right-sided mass had displaced the right orbit, which was the cause of the vision deterioration. Transnasal endoscopic surgery was performed to excise and marsupialize the mucoceles. This modality was preferred over conventional open surgery because it affords good visualization, it is safe, and it is a less morbid procedure. The patient's recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged home on the third postoperative day. On continuing follow-up, her vision had improved, her intraocular pressure had returned to normal, and her orbits were in their normal position. Based on our literature search, no case of bilateral frontal and ethmoid sinus mucoceles has been previously reported.

PMID: 8816108

Endoscopic sinus surgery for frontal sinus mucocele is gaining popularity. A case study, and the CT scan of a large frontal mucocele with 1-year follow up is presented showing the lining of the sinus cavity well healed and the frontal sinus ostium as patent. Endoscopic sinus surgery, therefore, is a potentially useful method for treating large frontal mucoceles.

INTRODUCTION: Frontal sinus mucoceles are the commonest among all paranasal mucoceles. With introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, surgeons prefer endoscopic management of sinus mucoceles, but lesions that appear in the lateral part of the frontal sinus can be difficult to access and often need external approaches.

CASE PRESENTATION: We described a lateral frontal sinus mucocele with intra-orbital extension, which was successfully managed by endoscopic sinus surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic sinus surgery is the treatment of choice in most frontal sinus mucoceles including lateral frontal mucoceles.

Mucopyoceles are rare lesions defined as infected mucoceles. They have been reported only in the paranasal sinuses and appendix. Our case is the first to be reported in the oral region. A 58- year-old male presented with complaint of a painless swelling of two years duration in the right buccal sulcus with associated pus discharge. Radiographic examination ruled out pulpal and periodontal foci of infection and histopathology confirmed an underlying mucopyocele in the right buccal mucosa.

Isolated intrasellar pituitary mucocele following transsphenoidal sinus surgery is extremely rare. The clinical features resemble a pituitary tumor, therefore careful radiological interpretation is crucial to reach the correct diagnosis. We report a case of intrasellar mucocele who had transsphenoidal sinus surgery performed 15 years prior.

A sphenoid mucocele often presents late due to its deep-seated anatomical site. It has a varied presentation, due to its close relationship to the cavernous sinus and the base of the skull. It can present initially to the ophthalmologist with ocular complaints. In the present paper, the authors present two cases of sphenoid mucocele, one with an isolated third and one with an isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy.

PMID: 19960147

The incidence of mucocoeles associated with a non-surgically treated nasal polyposis is rare. We report a rare case of nasal polyposis with asymptomatic frontal mucocoeles in a 28-year-old Malay man who presented with bilateral nasal obstruction with anosmia. Physical examination revealed bilateral grade III nasal polyps causing obstruction. Computed tomography revealed paranasal polyposis with a large polyp extending and expanding the posterior table of the frontal sinus causing erosion and thinning of its wall. Marsupialisation of the mucocoele and nasal polypectomy were done. Endoscopic sinus surgery and marsupialisation should be the treatment of choice for asymptomatic frontal mucocoele.

Mucocele is a mucous filled benign cystic lesion. It develops due to obstruction of any natural os-tium of the paranasal sinus. Even though being benign, it has capability to erode and cause thinning the adjacent bony structures. Isolated intraorbital mucocele without paranasal sinus disease is a rare condition. We present a 39-year-old female patient with right medial canthal swelling without any nasal symptoms, and normal nasoendoscopic finding. Imaging revealed the lesion as a right ethmoidal mucocele with normal paranasal sinuses. However intraoperatively, it was an isolated intraorbital lesion, lateral to lamina papyracea with thick-yellowish mucin discharge.

MyJurnal

The objective of this study is to report the occurrence, demographic and clinical findings of lip mucoceles in children. A restrospective study was conducted at the paediatric dental clinic situated at Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru. The period of study was 3 years beginning 2003 to 2005. Out of 1407 new cases seen over the period of study 17 (1.2%) patients presented with lip mucoceles. All lesions occurred in the lower lip. There was no sex or racial predilection. The average duration of the lesion prior to seeking treatment was 2.8 ± 2.8 months. Most patients (76.5%) first saw a medical practitioner for the problem. No spontaneous resolution of the lesions in any of the patients was noted. The preferred method of treatment of lower lip mucoceles in children is surgical excision of the involved minor salivary glands. Salivary gland mucoceles in children predominantly involve the lower lip and can be treated successfully by complete removal of the involved and associated minor salivary glands.

Cranial encephaloceles are rare conditions, which are more commonly seen in the anterior rather than in the middle cranial fossa. Temporal lobe encephalocele can present with a variety of clinical symptoms, amongst which include occult or symptomatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula. We present a case of a patient with a short history of rhinorrhea who was found to have a CSF pool in the sphenoid sinus and right anteromedial temporosphenoidal encephalocele, which mimics sphenoid mucocoele, a much more common entity. This case highlights the imaging findings of temporosphenoidal encephalocoele and the diagnostic clues in differentiating this rare condition from the commoner mimics.

Mucoceles are expansile masses originating in the sinuses. They are relatively unusual, occurring most frequently at fronto-ethmoidal region. They are locally destructive. This expansile lesion caused bony erosion and displaces the adjacent structures. We report a case of a patient who presented to our clinic with bulging of his left eye and worsening of the left vision. This was preceded by history of sport injury to his left supraorbital ridge. CT scan revealed that there was an extraconal lesion at the superolateral part of the left orbital cavity which pushed the orbit inferomedially, which consistent with left frontomucocele. He underwent enucleation of the lesion via 3 windows created namely at the left supraorbital ridge, anterior table of left frontal sinus and through the septum separating the frontal sinuses.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common type of benign salivary gland tumor. It can also be found in the larynx, ear, neck, and nasal septum. It is rarely found in the maxillary sinus, and it has never been reported in the frontal sinus. We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the frontal sinus that masqueraded as a mucocele. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this patient, and we review the literature.

Historically, the recommended treatment for paranasal sinus mucoceles is the complete excision of through an open approach to achieve a cure. Though with the advent of Endoscopic sinus surgery, transnasal Endoscopic sinus surgery has gained more attention in order to manage the sinus mucocele. The aim of this study is to present the efficacy of the Endoscopic marsupialization of sinus mucoceles. From 2001 to 2005, 18 patients with paranasal sinus mucoceles were treated endoscopically. This series includes 6 fronto-ethmoidal, 2 maxillary, 4 ethmoid, 2 sphenoid, and 4 middle turbinate. The presenting signs, symptoms, and radiological findings were reviewed. All patients underwent endoscopic-wide marsupialization of the mucocele; the mean follow up was 13 months. There are 10 male and 8 female subjects who were of an age range of 29-72 years. Patients were treated with endoscopic marsupialization of the mucocele. There were no recurrences in the mean 13-month follow-ups in 17(94%) of patients. Only one patient needed revision endoscopic surgery. Mucocele happens to be the most commonly benign lesion, which causes the paranasal sinus to expand. There is increasing evidence that endoscopic marsupialization of sinus mucocele results in long-term control with very low recurrence rate at or close to 0%. Thus this technique is safe and less invasive than external approaches.

Sphenoid sinus mucocoele: a possible late complication of radiotherapy to the head and neck

Rejab E, Said H, Saim L, Thim L

J Laryngol Otol, 1991 Nov;105(11):959-60.

PMID: 1761955

A case of sphenoid sinus mucocoele following radiotherapy in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma is reported. Diagnosis was made by radiological investigation and confirmed at surgery performed via a sublabial transeptal approach. Its content was completely removed and continuous drainage of the sinus was maintained by an indwelling tube. It is felt that the sphenoid mucocoele developed as a result of occlusion of the sinus ostium by scarred mucosa following radiotherapy.
