Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus are rare. Only occasional reports have appeared in the medical literature since they were first described by Berg in 1889. The sphenoid sinus lies deep within the skull at the crossroads of 13 sensitive structures. The presence of a sphenoid sinus mucocele may be accompanied by a wide variety of signs and symptoms depending upon which of these structures are involved. The majority of these lesions are initially misdiagnosed as malignancies leading to increased patient morbidity and possible mismanagement. We present two cases of sphenoid sinus mucoceles which presented with a variety of neurological signs and symptoms. The radiographic findings were felt to be consistent with skull base malignancies. The diagnosis was corrected only after surgical exploration of the sphenoid sinus revealed a mucocele.
蝶窦黏液囊肿很罕见。自1889年被伯格首次描述以来，医学文献中仅有零星报道。蝶窦位于颅骨深处，处于13个敏感结构的交汇处。蝶窦黏液囊肿的存在可能伴有各种各样的体征和症状，这取决于哪些结构受到累及。这些病变大多数最初被误诊为恶性肿瘤，导致患者发病率增加以及可能的治疗不当。我们报告两例蝶窦黏液囊肿病例，它们表现出各种神经学体征和症状。影像学检查结果被认为与颅底恶性肿瘤一致。仅在对蝶窦进行手术探查发现黏液囊肿后，诊断才得以纠正。
