Abstract
A case of sphenoid sinus mucocele which occurred after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy for pituitary adenoma is reported. The patient was 44-year-old female complaining of visual complication and general fatigue.The mucocele wall was resected as much as possible via a transnasal approach with endoscopy, and a drainage was routed into the nasal cavity.Mucocele recurrence was not detected within a 14-month follow-up period.This case suggests that the postoperative radiologic follow-up should be performed after removal of pituitary tumors to detect sphenoid sinus mucocele as well as the tumor recurrence.
