  • Title: Sphenoid sinus mucocoele: a possible late complication of radiotherapy to the head and neck.
    Author: Rejab E, Said H, Saim L, Thim L.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1991 Nov; 105(11):959-60. PubMed ID: 1761955.
    Abstract:
    A case of sphenoid sinus mucocoele following radiotherapy in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma is reported. Diagnosis was made by radiological investigation and confirmed at surgery performed via a sublabial transeptal approach. Its content was completely removed and continuous drainage of the sinus was maintained by an indwelling tube. It is felt that the sphenoid mucocoele developed as a result of occlusion of the sinus ostium by scarred mucosa following radiotherapy.
