Paranasal sinus mucoceles are mucus-containing cystic structures with an epithelial lining that completely fills in the paranasal sinuses. Although they are benign in nature, they may result in the destruction of the surrounding bony structures over time. Clinical findings such as exophthalmia, visual impairment, and diplopia occur due to pressure of the fronto-ethmoidal mucocele on the orbita. Currently, the endoscopic intranasal approach is preferred in the treatment of paranasal sinus mucoceles due to its minimal morbidity and low recurrence rates. Here, we present a patient aged 12 years who had a right fronto-ethmoidal mucopyocele secondary to a probable trauma 2 years prior, which resulted in proptosis due to pressure on the orbita.
鼻窦黏液囊肿是一种含有黏液的囊性结构，有上皮衬里，可完全充满鼻窦。虽然它们本质上是良性的，但随着时间的推移可能会导致周围骨质结构的破坏。由于额筛窦黏液囊肿对眼眶的压迫，会出现眼球突出、视力障碍和复视等临床症状。目前，鼻内镜经鼻入路治疗鼻窦黏液囊肿因发病率低和复发率低而备受青睐。在此，我们报告一名12岁患者，其在2年前可能因外伤继发右侧额筛窦黏液脓性囊肿，由于对眼眶施加压力导致眼球突出。
