Abstract
We have observed two contiguous mucoceles in one patient. Based on the mucoceles' signal intensities on MR imaging, as well as their anatomi c location as delineated by CT and MR, we hypothesize that the ''downs tream'' mucocele obstructed the ''upstream'' sinus, leading to formati on of a secondary mucocele.
