An ethmoid mucocele causing diplopia: A case report.

Abstract:

RATIONALE:Mucocele is a disease lined primarily by epithelium, and occurs mainly when the sinus ostium is obstructed. PATIENT CONCERNS:We report a case of a 37-year-old man who presented with painless proptosis of the right eye and diplopia. DIAGNOSES:The preoperative finding was mucocele of the ethmoid sinus. INTERVENTIONS:We performed endoscopic sinus surgery, which included uncapping of the anterior and superior wall of the mucocele. OUTCOMES:The mucocele was treated safely and effectively without touching the medial orbital wall. LESSONS:Clinicians should note that minimally invasive surgery to remove ethmoid mucoceles is relatively straightforward and can prevent the various complications associated with these lesions.
