ABSTRACT

Patients who have these lesions can present with several different symptoms and signs such as headache, nasal symptoms, and cranial nerves 2, 3, 4, and 6 palsies. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is not a common presenting symptom of sphenoid sinus mucocele. However, exclusion of sphenoid sinus mucocele should be made when the patient presents with isolated oculomotor nerve palsy. A case of sphenoid sinus mucocele with isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is presented with review of the literature. The oculomotor nerve function in this patient completely recovered after endoscopic sphenoidectomy.
