Abstract

A 62-year-old man with posterior paranasal sinus mucocele, which was accompanied by the bone defects in the bony walls covering the optic nerve, the internal carotid artery and anterior skull base, is herein reported. The CT and MRI findings suggested the existence of a mucocele in the right posterior paranasal sinuses. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed under local anesthesia. The cystic lesion was opened wide and then serous secretion was successfully removed. The postoperative course was uneventful. The literature related to posterior paranasal sinus mucocele was also briefly reviewed.
