Abstract
Sphenoid sinus mucocele comprises only 2% of all paranasal
sinus mucoceles. In literature, there is a case report on
sphenoidal mucocele causing bilateral optic neuropathy, with
unilateral partial recovery and cranial nerve palsy, but we did
not come across any literature with bilateral optic neuropathy
and ophthalmoplegia together caused by spheno-ethmoidal
mucocele. We present such a rare case of spheno-ethmoidal
mucocele causing bilateral optic neuropathy and unilateral
sixth nerve palsy who had postsurgery, unilateral good vision
recovery, and complete resolution of sixth nerve palsy.
