For nontraumatic abdominal emergencies, ultrasound is used to investigate biliary colic, pelvic pain in women, scrotal pathology in men, suspected appendicitis or intussusception in children, and lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis. (radiologykey.com)
Cysts2
The lesions of the sinus, such as sinus mucoceles, antral pseudocysts, and retention cysts, are not included in this discussion. (medscape.com)
Differential diagnosis of retention cysts of the maxillary sinus with odontogenic cysts, acute and chronic sinusitis, aspergillosis, and mucocele in preparation for sinus-lifting surgery. (bvsalud.org)
Intussusception2
Intussusception due to the appendiceal mucocele is exceptional, and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. (bvsalud.org)
CONCLUSION: The symptoms of bowel intussusception with the appendiceal mucocele as the lead point in adults are similar to any other bowel intussusception. (bvsalud.org)
Sinus2
Ten cases of bilateral rhinogenous optic neuropathy caused by mucocele have been reported, and the cause was sphenoid sinus in 9 cases. (bvsalud.org)
The authors highlight the importance of early diagnosis of sphenoid sinus mucocele and fully informing patients about the future risk of bilateral visual impairment, even if they are asymptomatic or have been treated. (bvsalud.org)
Suggesting an appendiceal mucocele1
Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography findings showed an approximately 2.5-cm-sized, thin-walled tubular cystic structure at the right lower abdomen adjacent to the appendiceal orifice, suggesting an appendiceal mucocele in the proximal portion ( Fig. 1B ). (sch.ac.kr)
Gallbladder Mucocele1
Gallbladder mucocele formation is a disorder of the gallbladder where excess secretion of abnormally thick mucus results in obstruction to the normal flow of bile or rupture of the gallbladder contents into the abdominal cavity. (ncsu.edu)
Cystic4
A grossly distended, thin-walled gallbladder measuring more than 5 cm across anteroposteriorly, an impacted stone in the infundibulum or neck of the gallbladder or in the cystic duct, and clear fluid content indicate a possible mucocele (see the images below). (medscape.com)
Appendiceal mucocele is a cystic mass that develops due to mucus accumulation in the lumen of the appendix. (coloproctol.org)
A congenital anatomic malformation of a bile duct, including cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct or the large intrahepatic bile duct. (nih.gov)
Cystic salivary ducts in the tongue (also known as ranulae) are lined by low cuboidal epithelium consistent with the salivary duct (as opposed to salivary mucoceles, which are cystic cavities filled with salivary secretions but not lined by an epithelium). (nih.gov)
We report the first case of mucosal prolapse of the appendix resulting in mucocele with a review of the concepts of prolapse. (sch.ac.kr)
Appendiceal mucocele is an uncommon disease of the appendix, and its incidence is assumed to account for 0.2%-0.7% of all appendectomy specimens [ 1 , 2 ]. (sch.ac.kr)
but mucocele induced by mucosal prolapse of the appendix itself cannot be hardly found, to the best of our knowledge. (sch.ac.kr)
Mucocele of the appendix may have a benign or malignant appendiceal progress, leading to individualised diagnosis and treatment. (coloproctol.org)
Intrahepatic1
US is also useful in identifying ductal obstruction and is extremely sensitive in identifying intrahepatic biliary tree dilatation. (medscape.com)
Salivary3
Mucoceles, which are of minor salivary gland origin, are also referred to as mucus retention phenomenon and mucus escape reaction. (medscape.com)
Ranulas are mucoceles that occur in the floor of the mouth and usually involve the major salivary glands. (medscape.com)
The development of mucoceles and ranulas depend on the disruption of the flow of saliva from the secretory apparatus of the salivary glands. (medscape.com)
Rupture2
In many cases, mucosal inflammation that involves the minor gland duct results in blockage, dilatation, and rupture of the duct with subepithelial spillage of fluid. (medscape.com)
Although they occur at a low rate of 0.2% to 0.7%, rupture of an appendiceal mucocele, may it be spontaneous or iatrogenic, can cause mucinous intraperitoneal ascites, a clinical condition known as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), which is associated with high mortality [ 3 ]. (coloproctol.org)
Mucus1
Collectively, the mucocele, the oral ranula, and the cervical, or plunging, ranula are clinical terms for a pseudocyst that is associated with mucus extravasation into the surrounding soft tissues. (medscape.com)
Trauma1
Regarding superficial mucoceles, trauma does not always appear to play an important role in the pathogenesis. (medscape.com)
Other complications of appendicular mucocele include intestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, and pyonephrosis. (coloproctol.org)
Potential1
We review an Amyand's hernia with LAMN and discuss the asymptomatic tendency yet malignant potential of appendiceal mucoceles along with treatment strategies. (coloproctol.org)
Type2
Studies have revealed increased levels of matrix metalloproteins, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, type IV collagenase, and plasminogen activators in mucoceles compared with that of whole saliva. (medscape.com)
Classification is based on the site and type of dilatation. (nih.gov)
Case2
We first present the case of a 38-year-old woman who was diagnosed with appendiceal mucocele associated with appendiceal mucosal prolapse. (sch.ac.kr)
In this report, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman who was diagnosed with appendiceal mucocele secondary to appendiceal mucosal prolapse. (sch.ac.kr)
Features1
The superficial mucocele, a special variant, has features that resemble a mucocutaneous disease. (medscape.com)
