Orbital mucus cyst

Orbital mucocele is one of the common intra-orbital space-occupying lesions. It mostly originates in the sinuses and invades the orbit; it is rare in the orbit. All sinuses can occur, of which the frontal sinus is the most common, followed by the ethmoid sinus, and it is rare in the maxillary sinus, sphenoid sinus, and sacral air bubbles. The frontal sinus is adjacent to the ethmoid sinus, and there is only a philippine thin bone plate, which occurs in any sinus that easily invades the other sinus. When symptoms and signs appear, most have developed fronto-ethmoid sinus cysts. Mucus cysts are chronic inflammatory lesions, often associated with bacterial infections, and form acute purulent inflammation, called mucus abscesses (pyocele). Congenital mucinous cysts can occur in the lacrimal sac and are not associated with sinus disease. Mucinous cysts are more common clinically, mostly in adults, and can occur in infants and children with a tendency to cystic fibrosis.
