SPHENOID MUCOCELES
Abstract
Four cases of sphenoid mucocele were presented. The lesions were confined to the expanded sinuses in two cases and with intracranial extension in other two cases. CT scan showed homogeneously low and high content lesions. MRI showed the lesions to be dark grey on T1Wls and fluid bright on T2WIs. The cases that lesions extended to intracranial cavity destroyed the bony skull bases widely but in smooth manner.
