Objective: Aimed to observe and analyse the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of the isolated sphenoid sinus disease, achieve earlier diagnosis and timelier intervention for this easily neglected disease and decrease the occurrence of misdiagnoses.
Method: A retrospective study was conducted in 159 patients with isolated sphenoid sinus disease.
Result: Headache was the most common presenting symptom (79.87%,127/159). Among the 159 cases, 60 (37.74%) had mucocele, 44 (27.67%) isolated sphenoiditis, 31 (19.50%) fungal sinusitis, 5 (3.14%) polyp, 3 (1.89%) fibrous dysplasia, 2 (1.26%) inverted papilloma, 3 (1.89%) chordoma, 3 (1.89%) squamous carcinoma, 3 (1.89%) malignant lymphoma, 2 (1.26%) neuroendocrine carcinoma, 2 (1.26%) olfactory neuroblastoma, and 1 (0.63%) malignant fibrohistiocytoma. A follow-up of 10 months to 4 years post-surgery showed good prognosis in most of the patients who underwent surgical therapy.
Conclusion: The sphenoid sinus disease is often vague and nonspecific in its clinical presentation. The most common clinical symptom is headache, followed by vision changes. Endoscopic sphenoidotomy is the primary therapy for isolated sphenoid sinus disease.

The falx cerebri (FC) corresponds to the invagination of the meningeal dural layer into the longitudinal fissure between the two cerebral hemispheres. Infrequently, the FC ossifies, forming an extra bone deposition, giving the impression of "supernumerary" bone. The present study aimed to investigate the presence of FC ossification in a large sample of the Greek population.

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a prevalent condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus cavities, significantly impacting quality of life and healthcare utilization. Computed tomography imaging is vital in assessing anatomical variations that may contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis pathogenesis. This study aimed to identify anatomical variations in the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses using CT imaging and explore their relationship with sinus mucosal abnormalities.

Background And Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory condition that substantially affects patients' quality of life. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is commonly performed in cases where medical therapy fails. Effective post-operative drug delivery is crucial for improving outcomes.

Objectives: The postoperative recurrence rate of sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is high, and the residual tumor at the attachment site (the pedicle of the tumor) is considered the main cause of recurrence. Therefore, a surgical approach tailored to the tumor attachment is crucial. Localized hyperostosis is an imaging characteristic of the attachment observed on computed tomography (CT).

Introduction: Transsphenoidal endoscopic pituitary (TEP) tumor resection is performed through the nose via the sphenoid sinus to remove tumors from the pituitary gland. Also, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was adapted to reduce physical and physiological traumatic stress response of surgical patients.
Methods: A total of 174 patients who underwent TEP tumor resection in our department from August 2021 to June 2022 were randomly divided into non-ERAS group and ERAS group.
