Özet

Mucocele is rarely seen in the sphenoid sinus. It may cause compression of neighboring structures due to significant destruction of the bony structure and its expansile nature. Although headache is the main symptom, it may present with different symptoms. Imaging methods play an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
