Maxillary sinus mucocoeles, though rare, can cause facial swelling and vision problems. Endoscopic surgery offers an effective treatment with a low recurrence rate for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Maxillary sinus mucocoeles are uncommon cystic masses.
  • They can present with extra-sinus complications like diplopia and facial swelling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic surgery for maxillary sinus mucocoeles.
  • To compare endoscopic and external surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 9 patients (10 sinuses) with maxillary sinus mucocoeles.
  • Surgical treatment included endoscopic sinus surgery (8 sinuses) and Caldwell-Luc (external) approach (2 sinuses).
  • Follow-up ranged from 3 to over 6 years.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic treatment was successful in 7 of 8 sinuses, with one recurrence.

  • External approach was used in two cases, one of which recurred and was later treated endoscopically.
  • Endoscopic surgery demonstrated effectiveness with minimal recurrence.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic management is an effective primary treatment for maxillary sinus mucocoeles.
    • Recurrence can occur, necessitating further intervention.
    • An external approach may be required in complex cases where endoscopic landmarks are lost.
