Abstract:
The mucocele on the inferior orbit is infrequent. When there is occurrence on the inferior orbit, the infraorbital approach, such as transantral, subciliary approach is used commonly. But because of some side effects, the authors use transantral approach intraorally. A 26-year-old woman visited our department with complaint of palpable mass. Computed tomography (CT) disclosed cystic lesion on the left inferior orbit. Surgical approach to the lesion was established with bony window opening on the anterior maxillary wall intralorally. Medpor sheet was placed on orbital floor after the removal of the lesion. Histopathologically, the lesion was diagnosed as mucocele. Orbital volume was kept well after the operation and no ocular sequela was observed.
