Abstract:
AA. report 5 cases of mucoceles that they have seen during a 5 years period; all the etiological factors that have been reported are present. Flogosis, trauma and neoplasm may create a mechanical obstacle to mucoid fluid flow; the intrasinusal pressure increases and erode the osseus wall and thus the mucoceles con herniate into adjacent structures.
Insights
This study reports five cases of mucoceles, detailing etiological factors like inflammation, trauma, and tumors. These factors obstruct fluid flow, increasing sinus pressure and causing mucoceles to herniate into nearby tissues.
