“…The T2 signal void is also observed, due to a high concentration of various metals concentrated by the fungal organism, as well as a high protein and dry content of the allergic mucin 24. Bone erosion with bone remodeling is one of the most common clinical features of AFS which was reported in up to 50% of patients 26. Thus, AFS in sphenoid sinus can easily cause compressive symptoms of cranial neuropathies which surround the sphenoid sinus.…”

“…Thus, AFS in sphenoid sinus can easily cause compressive symptoms of cranial neuropathies which surround the sphenoid sinus. It was reported that cranial neuropathies develop at 10% of the sphenoid AFS with bone erosion 26. Hyperprolactinemia and gynecomastia secondary to AFS compression of the pituitary gland were also reported as presenting symptoms of sphenoid AFS 27,28.…”

Chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis is a spectrum of inflammatory diseases in isolated sphenoid sinus which may persist over a period of 12 weeks. It is a different entity from other types of rhinosinusitis because clinical presentations include headache, visual loss or diplopia, and patients may or may not have nasal obstruction or nasal discharge. Nasal endoscopic examination is useful, and computed tomography is mandatory. The disease requires comprehensive knowledge and appropriate imaging technique for diagnosis. To treat patients with chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis, surgical treatment with endoscopic transnasal sphenoidotomy is often required. As there are no recent updated reviews of chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis, in this article, we review the anatomy of the sphenoid sinus and its clinical relationship with the clinical signs and symptoms of the disease, the imaging findings of each diagnosis and the comprehensive surgical techniques.

“…AFRS is a non-invasive fungal sinusitis, and the process of bone erosion is usually attributed to pressure atrophy and inflammatory mediators induced by the accumulated fungal debris. However, PNS mucosa and periosteum are usually intact [5,[17][18]. Bone loss of the sphenoid wall may lead to multiple cranial neuropathies as a result of the pressure of fungal debris on the surrounding neuronal structures [18].…”

with injury to the above structures [6]. The main focus of this study is to present the different clinical manifestations and diagnostic strategies of CSRS, in order to prevent delayed diagnosis and providing early management. It was conducted at King Fahad Specialist Hospital (KFSHD), Eastern region, Saudi Arabia. MethodThis is a retrospective clinical study which was conducted in the otolaryngology department of King Fahad specialist Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, from January 2008 to November 2019. The clinical features, radiological images, operative findings, and clinical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed and analysed with full description of some selected cases are presented in this report. Patients included were: 1-isolated sphenoid chronic rhinosinusitis which were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); 2-intraoperative
