  • Title: Sphenoethmoidal mucoceles with intracranial extension.
    Author: Close LG, O'Conner WE.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1983 Aug; 91(4):350-7. PubMed ID: 6415579.
    Abstract:
    Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are benign, expansile, locally destructive lesions that are thought to occur secondary to obstruction of the sinus ostia. Nasal and/or ocular signs and symptoms are the usual clinical manifestations of mucoceles arising in the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, and intracranial extension is rare. We describe three cases of widely destructive sphenoethmoidal mucoceles extending intracranially, with bone erosion and dural exposure in all cases and brain necrosis in one case.
