Abstract:Objetivo: Avaliar e relacionar os achados clínico-radiológicos da mucocele orbitária. Métodos: Análise clínica e de imagem referente a 166 pacientes com lesões expansivas da órbita examinadas com o tomógrafo Somaton DR da marca Siemens de terceira geração num período de 10 anos consecutivos em Hospital Universitário de referência. Resultados: Os achados clí-nicos mais comuns foram tumoração e proptose do globo ocular. À tomografia computadorizada, o achado típico foi de massa com baixa densidade, originando-se… Show more
“…If the accumulated secretion does not drain spontaneously, increased intrasinusal pressure causes a thinning of the cavity's bone wall with expansion in the direction of least resistance, such as the floor of the frontal sinus or lamina papyracea. In cases of superimposed infection the condition is called pyomucoocele (Figure 8) (13,22) .…”

“…The frontal sinus is most commonly affected, followed by the ethmoid sinus. Mucocele corresponds to about 3.4% of orbital mass lesions and primarily affects individuals aged 35-58 years (22) .…”

“…CT shows a generic uniform lesion with a liquid content. Expansion of the sinus cavity leads to adjacent bone remodeling and even bone sclerosis, causing ischemia secondary to chronic compression of the periosteum and orbital invasion (22) .…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
