“…Mucoceles causing bone destruction and showing extension to the orbita are in general frontal and ethmoid sinus related mucoceles. Mucoseles of the maxillary sinus very rarely affect the orbita wall [9]. In our patient, there was a maxillary sinus derived mucocele which eroded the orbita wall of mucocele, causing the complaint of periorbital pain and proptosis in the left eye.…”

Mucocele is a benign, cystic lesion of the paranasal sinus which grows slowly and becomes symptomatic after a long time. As its size increases the lesion expands out of the sinus. We reported a 16-year-old patient who presented with complaints such as left periorbital pain, shifting in the left eye and proptosis. Mucocele is most commonly seen in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, while it is rare in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. We presented a case of maxillary sinüs mucocele with orbital complaints

“…(9) Furthermore, ethmoidal and frontal sinuses are more affected by mucoceles than sphenoidal or maxillary sinuses. (1) Bone remodeling or erosion of maxillary sinus by mucoceles is a rare finding (2,5) and is caused mainly due to the continued mucous secretion of an expanding epithelial-lined mass (11) , which leads to bone compression.…”

“…Mucoceles are locally-expansive, (1) slow-growing, benign lesions of paranasal sinus that are generated from obstructed seromoucous glands in the sinonasal mucosa. (2) The gland obstruction results in a cystic formation, due its dilation and continuing mucous accumulation, (2) leading to smooth expansive regular mass, sometimes resulting in bone erosion or remodeling.…”

Mucocele eroding maxillary sinus wall as an incidental finding in Cone-beam computed tomography

Mucoceles are locally-expansive, slow-growing benign lesions that are generated from obstructed seromucous glands in the sinonasal mucosa. It has a cystic aspect and leads to sinus opacification. Patients usually present non-specific opacification and, in rare cases, enlarged mucoceles can lead to bone destruction through the compression of sinus surrounding bone walls. This report shows the case of a female patient without any clinical complaints who presented an evident opacification in her left maxillary sinus eroding the sinus wall, which was noticeable by means of panoramic radiograph, aside from maxillary sinus wall thinning and destruction, demonstrated through cone beam computed tomography examinations. The main diagnosis hypothesis was mucocele, as confirmed by the patient’s otolaryngologist. As the presence of any inflammatory disease in the maxillary sinus contraindicates sinus augmentation, the patient was referred to otorhinolaryngy treatment before implant rehabilitation.

Transnasal inferior meatal antrostomy with a mucosal flap for post-Caldwell–Luc mucoceles in the maxillary sinus

et al. 2019

ObjectiveTransnasal inferior meatal antrostomy is increasingly used for the treatment of post-Caldwell–Luc mucoceles in maxillary sinus. This study aimed to report the outcomes after inferior meatal antrostomy with a mucosal flap for recurrent mucoceles.MethodThe records of patients who had undergone transnasal inferior meatal antrostomy with or without a mucosal flap were reviewed.ResultsTransnasal endoscopic inferior meatal antrostomy with or without a mucosal flap was performed in 21 and 49 patients, respectively. No complications were observed. A closing of the antrostomy was found in 9 (18.4 per cent) of the 49 patients who underwent antrostomy without a mucosal flap. No closings were observed in the 21 patients who underwent antrostomy with a mucosal flap. There was a significant difference in the rate of closing for surgery with and without the mucosal flap.ConclusionTransnasal endoscopic inferior meatal antrostomy with a mucosal flap is a safe method for the treatment of post-Caldwell–Luc maxillary mucoceles that effectively prevents recurrence.
