While presenting this case, we briefly review the literature on the subject of sphenoid sinus mucoceles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Full Text Introduction Although headache is a well-known presenting symptom of isolated sphenoid sinus disease,1 it usually delays its diagnosis, since sinonasal symptoms are lacking; thus, these patients initially present to neurologists and neurosurgeons [bjorl.org]

The mucocele of sphenoid sinus present no symptoms in the early stage. In the late stage, it usually has varied presentations mostly related to the direction of extension towards neighboring structures. [clinicsinsurgery.com]

• Swelling

  MRI and CT scans showed mucocele in the left sphenoid sinus, and left optic nerve swelling with high intensity was observed in T2-weighted MRI. No destruction of the optic canal was found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Sinus inflammation- a common problem in respiratory observe is called an inflammation or swelling in the mucous membrane of sinuses. [farsimusic.net]

  Four patients (22%) presented with the complaint of eye swelling, three patients had nasal congestion (16%), and three patients had facial swelling (16%). [docksci.com]

  The lesion slowly expands in the sinus cavity resulting in swelling, pressure symptoms and bony necrosis. [intechopen.com]

  The mucocele can also be known as a collection of fluids or extravasation phenomenon and can occur when the swelling of the connective tissue due to irritation, inflammation or unknown causes results in mucin (protein that can be found in an individual [sinus-pro.com]

• Surgical Procedure

  The management section has been fully updated to incorporate new medical modalities and surgical procedures. [books.google.com]

  Rhinologic surgeons should consider the endoscopic technique as the surgical procedure of choice for management of paranasal sinus mucoceles. [ispub.com]

  In about 60% of the cases, the mucoceles are secondary to surgical procedures in the facial sinuses, in 35% of the cases they are primary and 2% are traumatic. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

  Mucoceles are treated surgically. The location, magnitude, and expansion of the lesion are determinants of the appropriate surgical procedure [8]. [docksci.com]

• Soft Tissue Mass

  Cranium computed tomography (CT) scan was then performed and images revealed soft tissue masses in nasal sinuses. He was then referred to our clinic. [clinicsinsurgery.com]

  Nasal endoscopy revealed the medial displacement of the middle turbinate by a soft tissue mass proturding from the osteomeatal complex(Figure 1). [ispub.com]

  The CT appearance of a soft tissue mass can be similar to mucocele. Sinusitis does not expand the sinus cavity. Surrounding bony sclerosis suggests infection. Calcifications may be present with superimposed fungal infections. [neuroradiologyonthenet.blogspot.com]

  MRI can discern secretions and mucosa from masses. When you understand the signal characteristics, you are readily able to distinguish soft tissues masses from inspissated secretions. [radiologyassistant.nl]

• Fracture

  With this as basis, two kinds of integrated models are presented which can be implemented in a finite-element code and used in ductile fracture simulations, in particular for metal forming processes. [authormapper.com]

  There have been more reports on osteomyelitis than in former years, and the subject of fractures involving the sinuses is thoroughly discussed in several interesting articles. [jamanetwork.com]

• Visual Impairment

  A mucocele of the sphenoid sinus with visual impairment and headache is presented. Mucocele of the sphenoid sinus is relatively rare. The preoperative diagnosis was uncertain in this case but sphenoid sinus mucocele was considered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Visual impairment slowly and progressively increased in the last six months. There are two mechanisms that explain the visual impairment in sphenoid sinus mucocele. [waent.org]

  He also had a chronic problem of visual impairment. His vision gradually improved after endoscope endonasal sphenoidotomy and drainage of the sinus content which resolved all his symptoms. [eastjmed.org]

• Facial Numbness

  A 59-year-old male came to our clinic complaining of severe headache, right-side facial numbness (in the areas of the first and second branches of the trigeminal nerve), diplopia, and right blepharoptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient was a 63-year-old man who complained of right visual disorder and facial numbness for approximately 3 years prior to his admission. There was no history of nose surgery or trauma. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

  Her visual acuity was normal with no diplopia, proptosis or facial numbness. Field of vision by confrontation method did not reveal any field defects. There was no evidence of neck stiffness. [tandfonline.com]

  His visual acuity was normal with no obviously diplopia, proptosis, facial numbness nor headache. The patients firstly sought medical advice in neurology clinics. Examination revealed uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes. [clinicsinsurgery.com]

  Facial numbness could be a presenting feature in involvement of first and second branches of the trigeminal nerve. [elynsgroup.com]

• Epistaxis

  The patients usually present with epistaxis and nasal obstruction with reddish submucosal nasal mass (Fig 11). Figure 11. [intechopen.com]

  The most common symptoms of paranasal sinus cancers include: Nasal: A persistently blocked nose or bleeding per nose (epistaxis) Oral: loose teeth or dentures, bleeding from upper teeth sockets, swelling in the roof of the mouth, oral pain, or trismus [skullbaseinstitute.com]

  It causes non-specific symptoms like nasal congestion or epistaxis. Biopsy is necessary to make the diagnosis and because more than 10% of inverted papillomas harbor a squamous cell carcinoma. [radiologyassistant.nl]

• Frontal Bossing

  Classic mucoceles are non-infected and present with complaints resulting from the mass effects such as proptosis, frontal bossing, inability to breathe through the nose, orbital mass (frontal or ethmoidal), medial gaze abnormality (ethmoid), or a change [neuroradiologyonthenet.blogspot.com]
