  • Title: Bilateral compressive optic neuropathy secondary to bilateral sphenoethmoidal mucoceles.
    Author: Newton N, Baratham G, Sinniah R, Lim A.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 1989; 198(1):13-9. PubMed ID: 2919033.
    Abstract:
    We have presented a rare case of bilateral posterior sphenoethmoidal sinus mucoceles with bilateral compressive optic neuropathy. While the duration of compression was variably present over a 10-month period, there were nevertheless significant improvements in visual acuity of the right eye and visual fields bilaterally following extensive optic nerve decompression.
