Abstract
ABSTRACTA mucocele of paranasal sinus is an accumulation of mucoid secretion and desquamated epithelium within the sinus with distention of its walls. It is considered as a cyst-like expansile and destructive lesion. If the cyst invades the adjacent orbit and continues to expand within the orbital cavity, the mass may present the behavior of many benign growths primarily in the orbit.Frontoethmoidal area is more susceptible to mucocele formation due to complexity of its drainage as compared to other sinuses. Frontoethmoidal mucocele usually presents with outward and downward displacement of orbital globe and is associated with palpable mass in the superionasal and medial canthal region.In this case report, a 55-year-old woman presented with complaint of painless swelling, protrusion, and deviation of the right eye since 1 year. High resolution computed tomogram (HRCT) showed a well-defined lesion in the anterior ethmoidal region with marked thinning of lamina papyracea. Endoscopic marsupialization with frontoethmoidectomy was performed.How to cite this articleGupta R, Minhas R. Ethmoidal Mucocele: Simple Modern Management of Ophthalmic Manifestation.
