    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Sphenoid sinusitis is an uncommon sinus infection.
    • It is frequently misdiagnosed due to its deep location and nonspecific symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the clinical presentation, bacteriology, and severe complications of infectious sphenoid sinusitis.
    • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing this infection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of clinical cases of infectious sphenoid sinusitis.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, microbiological data, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Common presenting symptoms include headache, fever, and neurological deficits.

  • Bacteriology is often polymicrobial, with common pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
  • Severe complications such as vision loss, meningitis, and cavernous sinus thrombosis were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Infectious sphenoid sinusitis requires a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis.
    • Prompt and appropriate antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention are crucial to prevent severe complications.
