Context:

Sphenoidal pathologies present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Accurate assessment of sphenoid sinus impairment is crucial for effective treatment.
Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are increasingly preferred in sinus surgery.

Purpose:

To describe and evaluate a technique of sphenoidal puncture and sinusoscopy under radioscopic monitoring and general anesthesia.
To assess the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy of this endoscopic approach for sphenoidal pathologies.
To report on the safety and complication rate of the procedure.

Summary:

A technique involving sphenoidal puncture and sinusoscopy under radioscopic monitoring and general anesthesia was employed in 23 patients with diverse sphenoidal pathologies.
The procedure allowed for precise diagnosis of suspected sphenoidal impairments in all cases.
Therapeutic benefits were achieved in over half of the patients through effective sinus drainage.

Impact:

This endoscopic technique offers high diagnostic accuracy for sphenoid sinus conditions.
It provides a therapeutic effect via sinus drainage, improving patient outcomes.
The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with no reported surgical complications, highlighting its value in treating sphenoid sinus diseases.
