Large mucoceles in the periorbital sinuses can cause severe eye problems, including optic neuropathy and permanent vision loss, even after surgical treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Periorbital sinus mucoceles are rare cystic masses that can cause significant local and intracranial complications.
  • These mucoceles can compress adjacent structures, leading to visual impairment and other neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A case of a large fronto-ethmoidal sinus mucocele in a 64-year-old male is presented.
  • The patient exhibited severe proptosis, complete visual loss in the left eye, retinal hemorrhages, optic disc swelling, chorio-retinal folds, and afferent pupillary defect.
  • Computer tomography confirmed a cystic mass invading the orbit and anterior cranial fossa.

Findings:

  • Surgical management of the mucocele successfully resolved proptosis and retinal hemorrhages.
  • However, the patient's pre-existing visual loss and chorio-retinal folds remained unchanged post-surgery.

  • This highlights the potential for irreversible damage caused by extensive mucocele invasion.

    • Implications:

    • Periorbital sinus mucoceles can lead to optic neuropathy and permanent vision loss.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent irreversible ocular complications.
    • This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex sinonasal and orbital pathologies.
