Abstract

There are some cases in which mucocoeles of the paranasal sinuses are multiple and their structures are complicated. When the mucocoeles are multiple, pre-operative evaluation is especially important for correct surgical management. We describe the usefulness of computed tomography for the evaluation of multiple mucocoeles of the paranasal sinuses.
