Sphenoid sinus mucocele

Yup good explanation. I had this exact problem. Took 15 years for Drs to diagnose.

Hi. I’m a pituitary Cushing’s patient, 3 yrs post op. Now having a recurrence of symptoms. My ACTH and cortisol levels are almost the same as they were pre op. MRI is clear, with the exception of a new finding of what is described as a 6 mm retention cyst in the posterior sphenoid sinus. Endo said no big deal, neurosurgeon says everything is great. I went to my ENT not realizing it was in the sphenoid and wanted him to clean out my nasal cavity because I thought that’s where it was. He got in there “There’s nothing in here!” He looked at the MRI, read the report and started shaking his head no. He said it’s the source of the ACTH. We’ve been planning on fixing my septum because he didn’t get to it as promised during the pituitary surgery. He said that he’ll grab the cyst at the same time. He also did CT and showed it to me. He said he would consult with the neurosurgeon and get back to me. He didn’t really explain his theory. I’m wondering if he thinks it’s an ectopic pituitary adenoma and not a cyst. Could the retention cyst be a byproduct of ACTH tumor cells? They did remove the tumor through the sphenoid sinus! It would make sense. Weird that the endo wasn’t suspicious and neuro isn’t interested in re-exploring the sella. My neurosurgeon is Daniel Kelly, I assume that you’re familiar with Dr. Kelly. Thoughts? Thanks for your time!

I've been feeling intoxicated/drugged/dizzy for 4 months now, while being a sober person. I had a mucocele removed 2 weeks ago tomorrow, from my sphenoid, not sure how large. Plus scar tissue was blocking the opening so it was opened. I still feel the same way. Do you think it's related? I was hoping after surgery I would get better. Maybe 2 weeks isn't enough.

I had a cyst in the pituitary in 1997 removed went through the mouth and sinus . 4 years ago I had this removed in sphenoid sinus same thing. And they said I had pituitary adenoma again I never went back for that in 2015 cat scan showed sinus mass and 1.4cm Adenoma. Could all this have come from the tissue from my leg they used to pack my sinus after surgery? Mris are expensive and I just haven’t had another one

I had a CT Sinus done & today, I follow up with my ENT for my results. I am so scared. I read that I have “mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinuses.” How is that treated? I’m scared to have any type of surgery UNLESS I am awake 😩
