Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses with intraorbital and intracranial invasion

ABSTRACT

The authors review five cases of paranasal sinus mucocele invading the orbit and cranial cavities which were treated in their neurosurgical unit over a 7-year period. The clinical features of the patients, locations of the lesions, CT findings and operative results are analysed. Early investigation by CT scan and prompt surgical treatment are important if irreversible neurological deficits are to be avoided
