2020, Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery: Advanced Techniques and Case ManagementCitation Excerpt :Patients may present with ophthalmic symptoms attributable to II to VI cranial nerve palsies, for instance optic neuropathy, exophthalmos, visual field defects, extraocular palsies, retro-orbital pain. Most frequent symptom is headache, followed by ocular symptoms [8–11]. Anterior clinoid mucoceles are visualized with both CT and MRI.

2012, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :Mucoceles involving the anterior clinoid process are particularly rare with only 16 other cases reported in the literature (Table 1) [4–6,9–19]. Patients with mucoceles involving the anterior clinoid process mainly present with orbital symptoms including ipsilateral retroorbital pain and progressive monocular visual loss [4–6,9–18]. The visual disturbance can fluctuate over time and range from complete blindness to a limited visual field defect such as a central scotoma [20].
