Isolated sphenoiditis: a diagnostic problem.

A C Urquhart1, G Fung, W A McIntosh.   

Abstract

A case of primary isolated sphenoiditis that developed cavernous sinus thrombosis is presented. It is difficult to diagnose and patients are often not seen initially by an ENT surgeon, making it more important for other branches of medicine to be aware of this condition. We discuss isolated sphenoiditis with particular reference to the diagnosis, management and complications of this condition.
