Mucoceles are locally invasive but benign expansive cystic lesions that can arise within paranasal sinuses. Isolated sphenoid sinus Mucoceles (SSM) are quite rare, comprising less than 1% of all paranasal sinus mucoceles. Due to the critical position and proximity of the sphenoid sinus to vital structures, SSMs can cause a multitude of symptoms and complications. We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with sudden vision loss and was found to have an isolated SSM. Following surgical drainage and management of the SSM, the patient had full recovery of visual acuity upon discharge.
黏液囊肿是一种局部侵袭性但为良性的膨胀性囊性病变,可发生于鼻窦内。孤立性蝶窦黏液囊肿(SSM)相当罕见,占所有鼻窦黏液囊肿的比例不到1%。由于蝶窦的关键位置以及其与重要结构的毗邻关系,SSM可导致多种症状和并发症。我们报告一例53岁男性患者,其因突发视力丧失就诊,检查发现患有孤立性SSM。在对SSM进行手术引流及处理后,患者出院时视力完全恢复。
