Abstract

Mucocele of para-nasal sinus is a rare entity resulting from chronic accumulation of mucoid secretion, leading to progressive thinning of sinus bony wall. We are presenting a case report of a middle age female patient with sphenoid mucocele causing sudden third cranial nerve palsy with pupil sparing. She was managed by urgent endoscopic marsupialzation.
