title: Ocular presentation of sphenoid mucocele.
abstract: A sphenoid mucocele often presents late due to its deep-seated anatomical site. It has a varied presentation, due to its close relationship to the cavernous sinus and the base of the skull. It can present initially to the ophthalmologist with ocular complaints. In the present paper, the authors present two cases of sphenoid mucocele, one with an isolated third and one with an isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy.
