Zusammenfassung: | Sphenoid mucoceles are benign lesions which could cause
serious complications because of its anatomic relationship with
pituitary area, optic nerve and cavernous sinus.
We report the case of a patient who started with severe
headache and diplopia because of a sphenoid mucocele which
eroded its lateral wall affecting cranial nerves.
Los mucoceles del seno esfenoidal son lesiones benignas
pero con riesgo de complicaciones graves debido a las relaciones
anatómicas que este guarda con la región hipofisaria, el nervio
óptico y el seno cavernoso.
Presentamos el caso de un paciente que debuto con
cefalea y diplopía debida a un mucocele esfenoidal que
erosionaba su pared lateral afectando pares craneales. |
