Abstract
- Paranasal sinus mucocele is a slowly growing benign cystic lesion. It usually involves the frontal and ethmoid sinuses and can extend to adjacent structures, especially to the orbit, skull base and brain parenchyma. Prompt surgical intervention is needed when symptoms occur. Complete resection of mucocele is approached via endoscopic sinus surgery, while marsupialization is also widely considered. Recently, we encountered a case of spontaneous brain herniation and cerebrospinal fluid leakage during endoscopic marsupialization of ethmoid sinus mucocele. Herein, we report the case with a review of the literature.
