    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery, Radiology

    Background:

    • The sphenoid sinus, located centrally in the skull base, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its complex anatomy and limited accessibility.
    • Accurate assessment and intervention in the sphenoid sinus are crucial for managing various pathologies, including tumors, infections, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a straightforward transnasal and trans-septal surgical technique for accessing the sphenoid sinus.
    • To evaluate the utility of this approach in diagnosing and treating sphenoid sinus pathology.

    Main Methods:

    • A surgical technique involving transnasal and trans-septal access to the sphenoid sinus was developed and applied.
    • Radiological assessment was integral to the pre-operative planning and evaluation of the surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully employed in eight patients, facilitating diagnosis and, in some cases, treatment of sphenoid sinus conditions.
    • The reported cases highlight the effectiveness of the surgical approach in addressing pathologies within this region.

    Conclusions:

    • The described transnasal and trans-septal surgical approach offers a viable method for managing sphenoid sinus pathology.
    • Adequate radiological assessment is essential for optimizing the diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes of this surgical technique.
