ABSTRACT

El mucocele es un tumor pseudoquístico poco frecuente en el seno maxilar y una rara complicación de la cirugía ortognática. El caso reportado describe la presentación de un mucocele que afecta parcialmente el seno maxilar y se presenta clínicamente como un tumor nasal. Se trata de una mujer de 44 años que, luego de 12 años de realizarse cirugías ortognáticas, presenta dolor facial y obstrucción de la fosa nasal derecha. La tomografía axial computarizada de senos paranasales revela una masa de contenido líquido que ocupa la mitad inferior del seno maxilar derecho, extendiéndose a la fosa nasal ipsilateral. La paciente es intervenida por vía endoscópica realizándose una marsupialización intranasal y meatotomía media, evolucionando satisfactoriamente en un seguimiento de dos años.


Mucoceles are not often found in the maxillary sinus, and is a rare surgery complication, in this case, orthognathic. This review describes a mucocele that partially occupies the right maxillary sinus, causing a chronic nasal obstruction. This is the case of a 44 year-old female patient, which after 12 years of several orthognathic surgeries, presents facial pain and right nasal obstruction. The paranasal sinus computed tomography reveals a mass with liquid content that occupies the lower part of the right maxillary sinus and compromises the right nasal cavity. The patient was treated with an intranasal marsupialization and a middle meatotomy with endoscopic nasal approach. Evolution was satisfactory two years after the intervention.
