Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • The sphenoid sinus, due to its complex anatomical location, has limited surgical accessibility.
  • Surgical approaches to the sphenoid sinus, including transethmoidal, transseptal, and transpalatal routes, were developed over the last century.

Observation:

  • This report details a case involving the sphenoid sinus.
  • The surgical anatomy, particularly the relationship with the cavernous sinus, is discussed.
  • A modified sublabial transseptal approach is presented, creating an opening in the sphenoid sinus face.

Findings:

  • The modified transseptal approach facilitates surgical access to the sphenoid sinus.
  • This technique is especially useful for managing sphenoid sinus mucoceles.
