Bilateral paranasal sinus mucoceles are rare. To date, only 5 cases have been reported in the English-language literature. All were bilaterally symmetrical. We present a patient with bilateral asymmetric mucoceles. This patient had a symptomatic mucocele of the right ethmoid sinus with orbital extension and an asymptomatic mucocele involving the left maxillary sinus with retroorbital extension. The latter was an incidental finding on radiologic evaluation. This is the first case report of bilateral mucoceles with asymmetric involvement of the paranasal sinuses.
双侧鼻窦黏液囊肿较为罕见。迄今为止，英文文献中仅报道过5例。所有病例均为双侧对称。我们报告1例双侧不对称黏液囊肿患者。该患者右侧筛窦有症状性黏液囊肿并向眼眶扩展，左侧上颌窦有无症状黏液囊肿并向后眶扩展。后者是影像学评估中的偶然发现。这是双侧鼻窦不对称受累的黏液囊肿的首例病例报告。
