Abstract |
Last year, we had experienced 2 cases of frontal mucocele from which exophthalmos was induced. In both cases, all were male and exophthalmos was unilateral at right eye. They revealed visual disturbances and ocular deviations to the temporal and inferior direction, a]so with the diplopia in one case. The duration of the exophthalmos was 5 months in one case, and 10 years long in another case. They were treated by means of external sinusotomy through the anterior orbitotomy with good results. In one case visual disturbance was also recovered to the normal. |
