19 maj 2022 · As sphenoid sinus is located adjacent to vital structures, a diseased sphenoid sinus can potentially lead to devastating complications such as cranial neuropathies, cavernous sinus thrombosis and intracranial abscess. Herein, we report a case series of three patients who presented with different localization of headache as their main symptom.
30 cze 2024 · The sphenoid sinuses are paired spaces formed within the body of the sphenoid bone, communicating with the roof of the nasal cavity via the sphenoethmoidal recess in its anterior wall. The two hemisinuses are separated by a septum which may or may not be in the midline.
The most frequent symptom associated with isolated sphenoid sinusitis is intractable headache. • Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is usually treated surgically and endoscopic transnasal sphenoidectomy is the preferred surgical technique. •
The sphenoid sinus is a paired paranasal sinus in the body of the sphenoid bone. It is one pair of the four paired paranasal sinuses. [1] The two sphenoid sinuses are separated from each other by a septum. Each sphenoid sinus communicates with the nasal cavity via the opening of sphenoidal sinus.
Isolated sphenoid sinus opacifications (ISSOs) are clinically important because they can lead to serious complications. However, some patients with ISSOs are asymptomatic, and not all patients are properly referred to the otolaryngology department. ...
16 lip 2020 · Among paranasal sinuses, sphenoid sinus is the least accessible as is deeply situated in the skull. Its close relation to various important neurovascular structures like optic nerve, internal carotid artery, cavernous sinus, vidian nerve and maxillary nerve, renders this sinus a vital role.
Lesions of the sphenoid sinus can be found early with neuroimaging, though a specific diagnosis requires an active process of examination, specific imaging, or surgery. Infection/inflammation was the most common pathology and malignancy was found in 7%.
