Abstract
- A case of mucocele of the sphenoid sinus having diplopia and headache is presented. This rare disorder is benign and curable by simple intranasal procedure. But it is often misdiagnosed as malignant or pituitary tumor, and unnecessary treatment such as radiotherapy or craniotomy has been performed. We removed it by sublabidal trans-septal trans-sphenoidal approach without difficulties and postoperative complications.
