[Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in mucocele].
As mucoceles are manifested usually during the exteriorization phase by compression of surrouding structures, the patient often consults other specialists before seeing an ear nose and throat specialist. We report the case of a female patient first seen in the neurology and ophthalmology departments. The diagnostic procedures and treatment protocols are analyzed. Endoscopic surgery is a good option that requires adequate patient selection.
