Summary

Endoscopic sphenoidotomy effectively treats isolated sphenoid sinus disease, including chronic sinusitis and mucoceles. This safe and effective surgical approach leads to symptom regression and positive outcomes in patients with nonmalignant conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • This review examines 12 cases of isolated sphenoid sinus disease.
  • Conditions included chronic inflammatory sinusitis, mucoceles, aspergillus lesions, and isolated polyps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of functional endoscopic sphenoidotomy for isolated sphenoid sinus disease.
  • To assess outcomes based on symptom regression and diagnostic imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis involved clinical symptoms, nasal endoscopy, and computed tomography (CT).
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for bone erosion or vision problems.
  • All patients underwent functional endoscopic sphenoidotomy; complications were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Functional endoscopic sphenoidotomy demonstrated good results in treating nonmalignant isolated sphenoid disease.
  • Symptom regression was observed in patients post-surgery.
  • Nasal endoscopic and CT evaluations confirmed positive outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Intranasal sphenoidotomy under endoscopic control is a safe and effective treatment for nonmalignant isolated sphenoid disease.
  • The procedure leads to regression of functional symptoms.
  • Mean follow-up was 26 months, supporting long-term efficacy.
