Abstract
- The anterior clinoid process, the medial end of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone, may be pneumatized by sphenoid sinus as part of normal development. The cases of sphenoid mucocele described in literature are sparse, especially located in anterior clinoid that is a bone structure seldom presenting pneumatization. Therefore generally showing no anatomic substrate justifying the development and the growth of a mucocele, have to be considered really exceptional. We present three cases of anterior clinoid process mucocele which were managed by a endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach.
