Abstract

A 30 years old man presented with 4 weeks of a slowly progressive globe proptosis of his left side. He described the sentation of pressure behind his eye associated with some discomfort especially on extreme lateral gaze. He also reported polydipsia. He was otherwise well without any other symptoms. He has no other past medical history or any previous surgical history. He was not on any regular medications. Examination revealed 20/20 vision with full color vision and visual fields. He had a 3 mm non-axial, non pulsatile proptosis (normal right eye 20 mm), with restriction on the left lateral gaze. Otherwise, normal ophthalmological examination. A CT scan revealed a left ethmoidal mucocele. He underwent endonasal drainage surgery and the eye proptosis resolved (20 mm both eyes) along with full range of ocular motility.
