Paranasal sinus mucoceles are rare in children, often presenting with non-specific headaches. Endoscopic sinus surgery offers a successful treatment, with no recurrences observed in a 2-year follow-up for these pediatric cases.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Paranasal sinus mucoceles are uncommon in pediatric populations, frequently linked to cystic fibrosis.
  • Diagnosis can be delayed due to non-specific symptoms and lack of inflammatory markers.
  • Sphenoid sinus mucoceles are particularly rare in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on three pediatric cases of paranasal sinus mucoceles managed surgically.
  • To discuss etiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of pediatric sinus mucoceles.
  • To review the existing literature on this rare condition in children.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of three pediatric patients with paranasal sinus mucoceles.
  • Exclusion of cystic fibrosis as an underlying condition.

  • Management via endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • Clinical follow-up for symptom recurrence.

    • Main Results:

    • Three pediatric patients (2 sphenoid, 1 ethmoid) were successfully treated.
    • Two sphenoid mucoceles had no identifiable cause; one presented with intractable headaches.
    • One ethmoid mucocele possibly linked to recurrent sinusitis.
    • All patients remained symptom-free with no recurrence after 2 years post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric paranasal sinus mucoceles, especially sphenoid, require consideration despite rarity.
    • Endoscopic sinus surgery is an effective treatment modality.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
