Maxillary sinus mucoceles can develop years after severe facial trauma. These late complications may occur even with a normal sinus drainage pathway, causing proptosis and globe displacement.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Maxillary sinus mucoceles are benign cysts that can cause significant morbidity.
  • Severe facial trauma is a known risk factor for developing sinus pathologies.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with proptosis and globe displacement.
  • Both patients had a history of severe facial injuries sustained many years prior.

Findings:

  • Radiographic imaging confirmed the presence of maxillary sinus mucoceles in both cases.
  • The mucoceles were identified as a late complication of the initial facial fractures.

Implications:

  • Maxillary sinus mucoceles can manifest years after trauma, irrespective of ostial patency.

  • This highlights the importance of long-term follow-up for patients with a history of facial fractures.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent vision-threatening complications like proptosis.
