ABSTRACT
Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus are relatively rare and it is difficult to dignose them with the history of the illness or with the physical examination alone. However, if it is not treated rapidly, it may give rise to visual loss, extraocular motor disturbance or other ophthalmic sequalae. Recently, we experienced a case of mucocele originating from the sphenoid sinus, which was managed by functional endonasal sinus surgery-marsupialization. We obtained satisfactory results after steroid treatments were applied on the post-operative visual disturbance of the left eye and the pre-operative occular motion disturbance of the right eye.
