Abstract:
Intraorbital or intracranial mucoceles usually arise from paranasal sinus and enlaarge sufficiently to compress orbital or intracranial structures: primary intraorbitocranial mucocele developing from optic canal or anterior clinoid process is extrmely rare. We experienced a case of 48-year-old female patient presenting headache and diplopia with 5 days` duration, whose primary mucocele had arisen from anterior clinoid process near the optic canal unassociated with paranasal sinus. We report the case herein with a review of the literature.
