Paraocular sinus mucoceles can cause serious ocular complications. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing vision loss and other orbital issues.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Paraocular sinus masses can lead to significant ocular complications such as proptosis, diplopia, and decreased vision.
  • These masses, including mucoceles, present diagnostic challenges and require careful evaluation.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with symptoms related to paraocular sinus masses, including proptosis, diplopia, brow pain, and decreased vision.
  • Computed tomography (CT) confirmed mucoceles in both ethmoidal and frontal sinuses.

Findings:

  • One patient's symptoms resolved spontaneously within two weeks, avoiding immediate surgical intervention.
  • The second patient was treated conservatively with medication for sinusitis, which had exacerbated the sinus cyst.

Implications:

  • Sinus mucoceles are space-occupying lesions that can cause severe ocular morbidity.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, considering differential diagnoses, are essential for preserving vision and orbital function.
