Isolated Sphenoid Sinusitis and sinus lesions is a rare entity accounting for just 1-3% of all Sinus afflictions. Most have occurred in men between the ages of 30 and 40 years.
Case Report
A case of right sphenoid sinus mucocele is reported in a male patient aged 68 years, with size of the lesion (35 x 34 mm) detected by CT & MRI scans. The patient presented with a 3 weeks history of unilateral ptosis, diplopia, and photophobia. He also complained of bilateral nasal obstruction, nasal stuffiness, and a mucoid nasal discharge. Endoscopic decompression of the right sphenoid sinus was performed, and approximately 160 ml of thick, sterile mucoid secretion was aspirated. Despite the size of the mucocele, no significant destruction of the sphenoid walls was evident. Postoperatively within 15 days the patient's symptoms improved significantly.
Conclusion
The Nasal Endoscope has revolutionised sphenoid sinus mucocele treatment. An adequate sphenoidotomy and drainage give excellent results. |
