Abstract

Maxillary antral mucoceles are rare complications of chronic inflammation of the sinus mucosa due to infection or trauma that leads to an obstructed sinus outflow, such as allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Treatment of choice of AFRS is medical therapy associated with functional endonasal endoscopic surgery; surgical evacuation (preferentially using endoscopic approach) of mucocele is resolutive in most cases. We think that in cases of giant maxillary mucocele Caldwell Luc approach should be avoided even in case of facial soft tissues (including the orbit) or pterygomaxillary fossa involvement, since endoscopic approach can provide adequate surgical field reducing complication rate and sequaelae.

过敏性真菌性鼻窦炎所致巨大上颌窦黏液囊肿。

上颌窦腔粘液囊肿是由于感染或外伤导致鼻窦流出受阻而引起的鼻窦黏膜慢性炎症的罕见并发症，如过敏性真菌性鼻窦炎。AFRS的治疗选择是内科治疗与功能性鼻内窥镜手术相结合；在大多数情况下，粘液囊肿的手术清除（优先采用内窥镜方法）是可以解决的。我们认为对于巨大的上颌黏液囊肿，即使累及面部软组织（包括眼眶）或翼颌窝，也应避免Caldwell Luc入路，因为内镜入路可以提供足够的手术视野，减少并发症发生率和后遗症。
