Primary Clival Mucocele: ENT Perspective in Early Diagnosis and Management

Abstract

ABSTRACT Primary clival mucocele is a rare lesion encountered in our daily practice. The previous scant literature enumerate cases which presented with intracranial complications and were usually treated by neurosurgeons. We are presenting a case of a 24-year old female who presented to us with unilateral headache and recurrent episodes of sinusitis. The patient's radiology suggested a primary clival mucocele, which was drained endoscopically. The patient on follow-up is symptom free. This paper tries to implicate the importance of the otorhinolaryngologist in diagnosing this rare lesion and preventing its progression and thus, intracranial complications.
