Abstract

Mucoceles arising from accessory paranasal sinuses about the orbit are quite rare. A case is reported of a retro-orbital mucocele arising from the pterygoid recess of the sphenoid sinus. The clinical and anatomical presentations, computerized tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics, and laser surgical management of such lesions are described.
