RESUMO
Isolated orbital mucocele without connection between the mass and paranasal sinuses is extremely rare and poorly understood. Literature review of these cases are very few and present more anteriorly in the orbit. Here, the authors present a 33-year-old female with an isolated left orbital apex mucocele without direct communication with the adjacent paranasal sinuses and other vital orbital structures. Endoscopic sinus surgery with marsupialization was performed, and an orbital mucocele was confirmed on histopathology. Although uncommon, previously reported cases, including our patient have remained disease free of recurrence for at least 1 year post-operatively.
