Multiple Cerebrovascular Complications due to Sphenoid Sinusitis.

Sphenoiditis is of particular interest because the sphenoid sinus has thin wall and its special anatomical location facilitate dissemination of infection to many intracranial structures including vascular structures. The main objective of this report is to gain insight into patterns of presentation and imaging findings in cerebrovascular complications of sphenoid sinusitis and to emphasize the need of reviewing Brain Computed Tomography Scan in all windows. This is a report of 32-year-old young female presented with fever and headache who was diagnosed to have sphenoid sinusitis after radiological examination. Sphenoid sinusitis may involve several intracranial structures, with potentially severe or even fatal complications. Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic/antifungal therapy is essential to minimize mortality and morbidity.
