Magnetic resonance imaging of a giant frontal hemorrhagic mucocele with intracranial extension in a cat

Abstract: A 6-year-old domestic short-haired cat was presented with an acute onset of right cortical encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed 4 days after the onset of clinical signs revealed a lesion originating from the right frontal sinus with intracranial extension and compression of the right frontal lobe. The lesion was T1-weighted hypointense and T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintense. Signal voids within the lesion were observed on T2* images, consistent with hemorrhag… Show more

“…In veterinary medicine, there have been few reports of diagnostic imaging findings of a paranasal sinus mucocele, as these are mainly about the frontal mucocele with an intracranial extension or traumainduced (Adamo 2005;Sessums and Lane 2008;Raul et al 2018;Vandenberghe et al 2020). On the CT, the paranasal mucocele is shown as a homogenous, hypoattenuating area with a ring enhancement (Raul et al 2018) like that in our case also.…”

“…On the CT, the paranasal mucocele is shown as a homogenous, hypoattenuating area with a ring enhancement (Raul et al 2018) like that in our case also. On the MRI, a paranasal sinus mucocele is shown as heterogeneously hypointense on the T1-weighted and hyperintense on the T2-weighted images, but this can vary depending on the component of the mucocele (Sessums and Lane 2008;Vandenberghe et al 2020). In addition to the above imaging findings, in the case of an intracranial extension, a well-demarcated heterogeneous lesion involving all frontal sinuses extends into the intracranial space via the focally-thinned frontal bone (Adamo 2005;Sessums and Lane 2008;Vandenberghe et al 2020).…”

“…6 Recent veterinary publications have added to our knowledge of this condition in small animals; however, to date, only eight cases have been reported in dogs and two cases in E76 cats. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Nearly all of these mucoceles have arisen from the frontal sinus cavity, some extending into the cranial cavity and orbit (referred to as giant mucoceles). [14][15] One recently published case is thought to have arisen from the ethmoid sinus of a Yorkshire Terrier dog, creating a lesion almost entirely peripheral to the nasal cavity and centered in the lacrimal fossa.…”
