Chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis is a spectrum of inflammatory diseases in
isolated sphenoid sinus which may persist over a period of 12 weeks. It is a
different entity from other types of rhinosinusitis because clinical
presentations include headache, visual loss or diplopia, and patients may or may
not have nasal obstruction or nasal discharge. Nasal endoscopic examination is
useful, and computed tomography is mandatory. The disease requires comprehensive
knowledge and appropriate imaging technique for diagnosis. To treat patients with
chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis, surgical treatment with endoscopic transnasal
sphenoidotomy is often required. As there are no recent updated reviews of
chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis, in this article, we review the anatomy of the
sphenoid sinus and its clinical relationship with the clinical signs and symptoms
of the disease, the imaging findings of each diagnosis and the comprehensive
surgical techniques.
