AbstractSphenoid sinus mucocoeles can stimulate a variety of pathological conditions and patients can present to a range of specialists. Because of the relative rarity of sphenoid sinus mucocoeles, diagnosis is often delayed and these lesions can progressively expand and cause direct mechanical compression on adjacent structures. We present three cases which presented with an abducens nerve palsy. Early surgical intervention is advocated and these patient's symptoms resolved following surgery. Although several conditions can present with an abducens nerve palsy, it is important to consider a sphenoid sinus mucocoele in the differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is a rare entity. Due to noncharacteristic primary manifestations, most of the patients present with ophthalmic complications, most commonly proptosis and diplopia. We report here the case series of two patients who presented with diplopia, blurred vision, and headache. Diagnosis of isolated abducens nerve palsy secondary to isolated sphenoid sinus disease was made, and both the patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We hereby propose that prompt diagnosis and treatment of isolated sphenoidal sinusitis is very important, and abducens nerve (CN6) palsy could be attributed to the disease condition as both the patients’ condition improved after surgery.
