Our retrospective study of 5 cases of sinus mucocele confirmed its rarity and occurrence at any age. This uncommon disease might be due to an association of inflammation, ostium closure and hypersecretion. The volume of the fronto-ethmoidal mucocele let us operate on patients either by orbito-superciliary route or through the frontal scalp. Functional endoscopic surgery, presently suggested for mucocele treatment, was not used because of our lack of experience in this surgical method.
我们对5例鼻窦黏液囊肿的回顾性研究证实了其罕见性及在任何年龄均可发生。这种罕见疾病可能是炎症、窦口闭合及分泌过多共同作用的结果。额筛窦黏液囊肿的大小决定了我们是通过眶上眉弓入路还是经额部头皮对患者进行手术。由于我们缺乏功能性内镜手术治疗黏液囊肿的经验,所以未采用目前推荐的这种手术方法。
