The sphenoid sinus is the least common site of mucocele of all paranasal sinuses. It is very rare in children, especially in those younger than 12 years when pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus is completed. We report a case of histologically proven sphenoidal mucocele in a 5-year-old child. The child presented with an acute onset of significant visual impairment and headache. His vision gradually improved after trans-nasal sphenoidotomy and drainage of the sinus content with return of complete normal baseline vision after 2 months.
蝶窦是所有鼻窦中黏液囊肿最不常见的部位。在儿童中非常罕见，尤其是在12岁以下蝶窦气化完成的儿童中。我们报告一例5岁儿童经组织学证实的蝶窦黏液囊肿病例。该患儿急性起病，出现明显视力障碍和头痛。经鼻蝶窦切开术及鼻窦内容物引流后，其视力逐渐改善，2个月后恢复至完全正常的基线视力。
