A Huge Mucocele of the Sphenoid Sinus Extending to the Pterygopalatine Fossa

Abstract

The sphenoid sinus mucocele is rare. We presented a case of a huge sphenoid sinus mucocele extending to the left pterygopalatine fossa in 72-year-old woman. No case of such a huge sphenoid sinus mucocele has been reported previously. The recognition and expansion of the sphenoid sinus mucocele was investigated by means of conventional and computed tomographies.
