Isolated intraorbital mucocele without anatomical communication between the sinus and orbital cavity, and all orbital walls are intact is rare. It may lead to many orbital symptoms including proptosis, diplopia, orbital pain. Traditionally, many cases of typical paranasal sinus mucocele are successfully treated with endoscopic marsupialization. Most of the isolated intraorbital mucoceles were treated with complete removal of the mucocele via an external approach. However, there are many disadvantages of the external approach, and a case of isolated intraorbital mucocele in medial orbit treated by endoscopic intranasal marsupialization was reported. Here, the authors report a case of isolated orbital mucocele in inferior orbit treated by endoscopic intranasal marsupialization.
