Abstract:
Sphenoidal sinusitis is an uncommon pathology potentially dangerous condition, that we can find in young population. Clinically it is very difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific symptoms, but cranial computer tomography confirms the diagnosis. The most cases were treated with antibiotics and recovered completely. We present a young man with isolated sphenoidal sinusitis who was managed in our medical centre, and a review of the literature.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
