    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ethmoidal mucoceles causing unilateral exophthalmos require surgical treatment. Long-term follow-up is crucial, as recurrences of ethmoidal mucoceles can occur years after initial treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Ethmoidal mucoceles are cystic masses arising from the ethmoid sinuses.
    • They can cause significant orbital complications, including exophthalmos.

    Observation:

    • Twenty patients with ethmoidal mucoceles presenting with unilateral exophthalmos were studied.
    • Nasal polyposis was observed in over half of the patients.
    • Lesions consistently extended into the orbit and often eroded the frontal sinus floor.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exenteration via an ethmoidectomy approach was successful in 16 out of 20 cases.
    • Recurrence of the mucocele occurred in one case.
    • Uncontrolled polypoid disease led to recurrent exophthalmos in three cases.

    Implications:

    • Ethmoidectomy is an effective treatment for ethmoidal mucoceles with orbital extension.
    • Long-term surveillance is essential due to the potential for late recurrences.
    • Management of associated nasal polyposis may be critical for preventing recurrence.
