A rare case of a maxillary sinus mucocele, developing 12 years post-surgery, was successfully treated with endoscopic sinus surgery. This highlights a delayed complication of the Caldwell-Luc operation.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • The Caldwell-Luc operation, a transantral approach to the maxillary sinus, can rarely lead to delayed complications.
  • Maxillary sinus mucoceles are benign, mucus-filled cysts that can arise after sinus surgery.
  • Post-operative mucoceles are uncommon, with varied presentations and formation theories.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a rare, compartmentalized maxillary sinus mucocele 12 years following a Caldwell-Luc procedure.
  • Two distinct mucoceles were identified within the maxillary sinus.
  • The mucoceles were successfully managed via an intranasal endoscopic approach.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery provides an effective, minimally invasive method for treating delayed post-operative maxillary sinus mucoceles.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compartmentalization of mucoceles can occur years after sinus surgery, presenting a diagnostic challenge.
  • Review of literature on the incidence, presentation, and pathogenesis of post-operative mucoceles.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering delayed complications after Caldwell-Luc operations.
    • Endoscopic techniques offer a viable alternative for managing complex sinonasal pathologies.
    • Further research into the long-term sequelae of sinus surgery is warranted.
