“…5 The etiology of mucoceles is mainly from the blockage of a sinus cell ostium. 5,6 Blockage may occur spontaneously without sinus abnormality or as a result of trauma, postsurgical injury, tumor growth, chronic inflammation, or infection. 7,8 Orbital mucoceles occur when paranasal sinus mucoceles invade the orbit by direct expansion or erosion of the orbital wall.…”

“…Materials suggested for reconstruction have varied over time and include polyethylene, 12 stainless steel wire mesh, 13 silicone, 14 cranial bone, 14 methyl-methacrylate, 14 Teflon, 2 pramid, 8 and titanium mesh. 15 Problems with migration, extrusion, and an increased risk of infection have been found with many of these reconstructive techniques.…”

Chronic maxillary sinusitis may present as atelectasis of the sinus with changes to surrounding structures. Several mechanisms have been proposed for this problem. Chronic obstruction of the sinus ostium, with resultant retention of secretions and osteitic bone resorption, may account for these changes. Enophthalmos is one manifestation that may require corrective treatment. Titanium micromesh reconstruction of the orbital floor, with or without onlay concha cartilage, has reliably resolved the enophthalmos. Reconstruction of the orbital floor and ventilation of the obstructed sinus ostium may be carried out relatively safely in a single operation. The standard endoscopic technique of uncinate removal and middle meatal antrostomy should be modified to prevent orbital penetration. This report reviews our series of 6 patients with this problem, as well as a comprehensive review of the literature. Recommendations for management of both the obstruction and the secondary orbital manifestations are presented.

“…Maxillary sinus mucocele is a rare condition that generally occurs after sinus surgery, possibly due to sequestration of sinus mucosa [4] or postoperative scarring causing fibrous septation of the antrum [5]. Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are cystic lesions lined by respiratory epithelium and can be caused by obstruction of the sinus ostium or obstruction of a mucus-secreting gland, leading to the accumulation of secretions into an expansile mass.…”
