    Parotid swelling is a common presentation in ENT clinic. Most of the cases involve pathology of the gland. There are not many reported cases about parotid duct pathology. We describe a case of a large parotid duct mucocele with a calculus. Excision of the mucocele and superficial parotidectomy was performed. The post-operative recovery was uneventful.

    Endoscopic sinus surgery for frontal sinus mucocele is gaining popularity. A case study, and the CT scan of a large frontal mucocele with 1-year follow up is presented showing the lining of the sinus cavity well healed and the frontal sinus ostium as patent. Endoscopic sinus surgery, therefore, is a potentially useful method for treating large frontal mucoceles.

    We report the rare occurrence of bilateral asymmetrical mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses that resulted in a unilateral orbital complication. The patient was a 47-year-old woman who presented with complaints of diplopia, blurred vision, and protrusion of her right eye that had progressed over a period of several months following an upper respiratory tract infection. Computed tomography detected the presence of two large, asymmetrical mucoceles. The lesion on the right involved the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, and the one on the left involved the ethmoid sinus. The mucoceles were locally expansile and had eroded the surrounding bony structures on the right. The expansile nature of the right-sided mass had displaced the right orbit, which was the cause of the vision deterioration. Transnasal endoscopic surgery was performed to excise and marsupialize the mucoceles. This modality was preferred over conventional open surgery because it affords good visualization, it is safe, and it is a less morbid procedure. The patient's recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged home on the third postoperative day. On continuing follow-up, her vision had improved, her intraocular pressure had returned to normal, and her orbits were in their normal position. Based on our literature search, no case of bilateral frontal and ethmoid sinus mucoceles has been previously reported.

    Historically, the recommended treatment for paranasal sinus mucoceles is the complete excision of through an open approach to achieve a cure. Though with the advent of Endoscopic sinus surgery, transnasal Endoscopic sinus surgery has gained more attention in order to manage the sinus mucocele. The aim of this study is to present the efficacy of the Endoscopic marsupialization of sinus mucoceles. From 2001 to 2005, 18 patients with paranasal sinus mucoceles were treated endoscopically. This series includes 6 fronto-ethmoidal, 2 maxillary, 4 ethmoid, 2 sphenoid, and 4 middle turbinate. The presenting signs, symptoms, and radiological findings were reviewed. All patients underwent endoscopic-wide marsupialization of the mucocele; the mean follow up was 13 months. There are 10 male and 8 female subjects who were of an age range of 29-72 years. Patients were treated with endoscopic marsupialization of the mucocele. There were no recurrences in the mean 13-month follow-ups in 17(94%) of patients. Only one patient needed revision endoscopic surgery. Mucocele happens to be the most commonly benign lesion, which causes the paranasal sinus to expand. There is increasing evidence that endoscopic marsupialization of sinus mucocele results in long-term control with very low recurrence rate at or close to 0%. Thus this technique is safe and less invasive than external approaches.

    Sphenoid sinus mucoceles comprise 1-2 per cent of paranasal sinus mucoceles. Endoscopic marsupialisation is currently the treatment of choice.

    A sphenoid mucocele often presents late due to its deep-seated anatomical site. It has a varied presentation, due to its close relationship to the cavernous sinus and the base of the skull. It can present initially to the ophthalmologist with ocular complaints. In the present paper, the authors present two cases of sphenoid mucocele, one with an isolated third and one with an isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy.
