Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Maxillary sinus mucoceles are uncommon paranasal sinus cysts.
  • Transnasal endoscopic management is the preferred surgical technique.
  • This study evaluates the clinical presentation and endoscopic treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation of maxillary sinus mucoceles.
  • To establish the efficacy of endoscopic management for these mucoceles.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 14 patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (2003-2005).
  • Analysis of presenting symptoms, radiological findings, surgical procedures, and need for revision.
  • All patients underwent ethmoidectomy with middle meatal antrostomy and mucocele marsupialization.

Main Results:

  • Common symptoms included nasal obstruction, drainage, and facial pressure.
  • Computed tomography showed maxillary and ethmoid sinus involvement in 4 patients.
  • No revision surgeries were needed; all patients maintained a patent antrostomy and healthy sinus mucosa post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • While chronic infection, allergies, trauma, and surgery are common causes, the etiology remains uncertain in many cases.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery is a highly effective treatment for maxillary sinus mucoceles.
  • The procedure demonstrates favorable long-term outcomes with a low complication rate.
