In a 65-year-old woman, symptomatic headache caused by a mucocele of the sphenoid sinus led to ergotamine abuse and subsequent ergotamine-induced headache. Since there were no neurological symptoms initially and the patient previously suffered from migraine, the mucocele was not recognized. Only
The great majority of cases of cluster headache (CH) are primary, but there are several reported cases of CH secondary to underlying structural lesions. The identification of these lesions is crucial for the achievement of an effective treatment and favorable outcome, although the In this study, we have pointed out the effectiveness of the endoscopic approach for the treatment of three children affected by mucoceles. Two patients complained of visual disturbances while one complained of persistent bitemporal headache. None of these cases was affected by cystic fibrosis. The
We present the case of a male with a history of nasal polyposis underwent bilateral nasosinusal endoscopic surgery. He went to the emergency department because of having behavioral changes and left frontal headache. An emergency CT showed nasal-sinus polyposis and several nodular lesions with a
Three unusual cases of sphenoethmoidal mucoceles with rare intracranial extension are reported. A 64-year-old female presented with a 7-month history of right visual disturbance. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated a huge mass in the right middle fossa. She
Paranasal mucoceles are cystic masses lined with epithelium thought to result from chronic obstruction of an impaired sinus ostia. If sufficiency large, they can cause ophthalmological sequelae including diplopia, visual acuity, globe displacement as well as the rhinological symptoms of facial pain
Mucoceles are mucus-containing cysts lined by epithelium. Although benign, they may show expansive growth and remain undiagnosed until symptoms due to compression of surrounding structures arise. We report a rare case of frontoethmoid mucocele with intracranial extension in an 80-year-old woman with
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical features of patients with posttraumatic paranasal sinus mucocele (PSM).
METHODS
Between 2009 and 2013, we performed endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on 68 patients with PSM at the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at
Frontal sinus osteoma accompanied by intracranial mucocele and local hyperostosis frontalis interna has never been reported. A 47-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of intermittent headache. Physical examination revealed no neurologic abnormality. Contrasted magnetic resonance imaging
We present a 43-year-old female patient who had recurrent headache for one year. An intracranial bony lesion surrounded by a cyst in the anterior cranial fossa was found on imaging. Postoperative histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoma and mucocele.
A 60 year old woman presented with headaches and a destructive lesion in the sella turcica. She refused treatment but returned seven years later with a spontaneous pneumocephalus and dementia. A mucocele of the sphenoid sinus was discovered. Her symptoms resolved after removal of the mucocele and
We report the case of a 57-year-old man complaining of headaches and adult onset seizures. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a process which proved to be a huge frontal sinus mucocele, eroding the posterior wall of the frontal sinus and compressing the left
Intracranial mucocele is rare. They are slow-growing lesions and usually form as a result of an obstruction of the paranasal sinuses, particularly by osteoma, fibrosis, trauma, previous surgery or inflammation. The effect of pregnancy in the development of intracranial mucocele is unclear. We report
