This is a case of an 11-year-old male with an ethmoid sinus mucocele who presented to our emergency department with an orbital mass. This mucocele was most likely related to an ipsilateral orbital subperiosteal abscess that required endoscopic drainage 9 years ago. Mucoceles are mucus-filled, epithelial-lined sacs that slowly develop in the paranasal sinuses when sinus drainage is obstructed by inflammatory processes, trauma, or prior surgery. They are rare in children and should be suspected in patients with progressive headache or orbital complaints.
这是一例11岁男性筛窦黏液囊肿患者，因眼眶肿物前来我院急诊科就诊。该黏液囊肿很可能与9年前需要内镜引流的同侧眼眶骨膜下脓肿有关。黏液囊肿是充满黏液、内衬上皮的囊腔，当鼻窦引流因炎症、外伤或既往手术而受阻时，会在鼻窦内缓慢形成。黏液囊肿在儿童中较为罕见，对于出现进行性头痛或眼眶相关症状的患者应怀疑此病。
