Mucoceles arising from the anterior clinoid is rare. Although intrinsically benign, mucoceles in the sphenoid sinus (anterior clinoid variant) can lead to complications due to their proximity to other structures. We present a case of a young man whose visual complaints were typical for retrobulbar optic neuritis. Results of radiologic tests for diagnosis led us to the early detection of a surgically treatable condition, a sphenoid sinus mucocele (anterior clinoid variant). Early surgery was helpful in ameliorating the symptoms, leading to full recovery of visual function. The clinician should be aware of this rare entity with its presentation in a wide variety of signs and symptoms.
起源于前床突的黏液囊肿很罕见。蝶窦黏液囊肿（前床突变异型）虽本质上为良性，但因其靠近其他结构可导致并发症。我们报告一例年轻男性病例，其视觉症状符合球后视神经炎。诊断性放射学检查结果使我们早期发现了一种可手术治疗的疾病，即蝶窦黏液囊肿（前床突变异型）。早期手术有助于缓解症状，使视觉功能完全恢复。临床医生应了解这种罕见疾病及其多种多样的体征和症状表现。
