Congenital or post-traumatic respiratory epithelial lined cysts of the orbit are very rare, and such cysts more commonly occur as mucocoeles secondary to chronic paranasal sinus disease. Four new cases of such cysts are described herein, three presumed choristomas and one occurring after trauma. Two of three presumed choristomatous (congenital) cysts occurred in sites that were atypical for the commoner dermoid cyst. One occurred in the superior orbit between the superior rectus and levator palpebrae superioris muscle and one in the temporal fossa and lateral orbit. The third choristomatous lesion occurred in the superotemporal orbit with a well-defined bony defect, a typical pattern of the commoner dermoid cyst. The fourth case, a presumed traumatic respiratory epithelial cyst, probably arose from ethmoidal sinus mucosa. Respiratory epithelial orbital cysts are very rare and may occur in sites that are atypical for the commoner orbital dermoid cyst.

“…Orbital implantation cysts are usually lined by conjunctival 2 or, more rarely, pseudostratified columnar ciliated respiratory epithelium 3 The latter, being of Table 1). sinus origin, is probably drawn into the orbit during retrieval of prolapsed orbital contents at the time of fracture repair, whereas conjunctival implantations are probably due to direct displacement from the ocular surface.…”

“…[4][5][6] Most cysts around silicone implants are fibrous, with late occurrence of intracystic haemorrhage, although true epithelium-lined cysts do rarely occur. 3,7,8 In a 10-year study of the complications of alloplastic implants, only two patients were reported to have developed cysts, these related to partial absorption of Gelfilm implants. 9 The other sporadic reports of surgical implantation cysts involve patients who had previous enucleation, 10 retinal detachment surgery with scleral buckling, 2 or strabismus surgery; 11 in all cases, complete excision of the cysts was curative.…”

“…10,14 Reported complications from orbital fracture repair include enophthalmos, visual disturbance, numbness, ectropion, dystopia, extrusion or migration of implant, hemorrhage, cyst and mucocele formation, orbital infection, dacryocystitis, fistula formation, proptosis, cold intolerance, pain, and palpable hardware requiring removal. [1][2][3][4]7,14,15 Several of these complications, including extrusion, migration, cyst, and hemorrhage, have been attributed directly to the implant itself. 2,3,5,10,16 The majority of complications occur within weeks to months, although delayed infection, extrusion, and cyst or mucocele formation have been well documented.…”

Objectives: 1. Case report of foreign body and associated orbitoethmoid and skull base mucocele following orbital blowout fracture repair. 2. Literature review of orbital fracture repair complications and endoscopic removal of paranasal sinus and anterior skull base foreign body. Design: Case report and literature review. Setting: Tertiary-care academic otolaryngology practice. Results: Foreign body involvement of the orbit, paranasal sinuses, and skull base are relatively rare entities. In contrast, orbital blowout fractures are relatively common facial fractures. We report skull base involvement of a previously placed orbital floor implant complicated by mucocele formation and exophthalmos. Successful endoscopic removal and decompression of foreign body and associated mucocele were accomplished. Review of orbital floor fracture repair complications and paranasal sinus and skull base foreign body endoscopic removal were also performed. Conclusions: Transnasal endoscopic removal of complicated foreign bodies involving the orbit, paranasal sinuses, and anterior skull base can be successfully accomplished given appropriate patient selection and careful technique.
