dc.description.abstract | Introduction
Mucoceles are mucus-filled, epithelial-lined sacs that slowly develop in the paranasal sinuses
when sinus or concha bullosa drainage is obstructed by inflammatory processes, trauma, or
prior surgery. They are extremely rare in children. Symptoms usually arise from the nasal
obstruction or compression of neighboring structures.
Case presentation
This case report describes a 5-year-old Turkish boy with a 3-year history of nasal obstruction.
A computed tomography scan showed a well-defined soft tissue density lesion, seemingly
originating in the region of the middle concha and was suggestive of a middle concha
mucocele. The mass was removed by endoscopic sinus surgery.
Conclusions
In the case of a child presenting with nasal obstruction, mucocele should be remembered in
the differential diagnosis of intranasal tumors. Computed tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging are helpful in making the diagnosis and endoscopic nasal surgery has
proven successful in the treatment | en_US |
