Mucocele Frontoorbitario Izquierdo

Abstract

Pseudotumours Mucoceles are slow growing and benign located in the sinus cavities that may extend to neighboring lesions presenting inside accumulation of mucus and epithelial-lined cystic lesions. The most common location of mucoceles is the frontal and fronto breast are uncommon in the maxillary and sphenoid sinus, causing expansion and slow and gradual increase in the sinus cavities, causing nasal and sinus and eye symptoms, such as headache, nasal obstruction, facial pain, diplopia. Most mucoceles occur between the fourth and seventh decade of life. Rare is the appearance of frontal mucoceles before 10 years of age, and that takes place bilaterally, because at that age is not fully developed the paranasal sinuses, also no significant differences in gender. Predisposing to the development of mucoceles factors, it may occur by an alteration in the anatomy of the drainage path sinus either cause traumatic, inflammatory or tumor. The diagnostic test of choice is computed tomography supplemented by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, allowing study the different changes in the bony walls of the sinus, to determine the location and size of mucocele. In the treatment there is a preventive management consisting of the control of respiratory infections and polyposis from the medical point of view as well as a curative treatment is surgery so you must know very well the extent and Anatomic involvement. So it will require the collaboration of neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists, with the endoscopic management treatment of choice.
