Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Mucocele of the sphenoidal sinus is a rare, benign neoplasm.
  • Under-diagnosis is common due to asymptomatic or non-specific presentations.

Observation:

  • A case study involving a 41-year-old man with sudden diplopia as the initial symptom.
  • Sphenoidal sinus mucocele characteristics are reviewed.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enhance pretherapeutic evaluation precision.
  • Surgical intervention is the standard treatment for sphenoidal sinus mucoceles.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering sphenoidal sinus mucocele in differential diagnoses.
