Sphenoidal and ethmoidal sinoliths

Abstract

Sinoliths are rarely found calculi of paranasal sinuses. The most rarely they were found in the sphenoidal sinuses. At a routine Cone Beam CT exam of a 52-year-old male patient clinically silent small sinoliths were found bilaterally in the sphenoidal sinuses and a larger posterior ethmoidal sinolith was found on the right side. To our knowledge, such multiple sinuses involvement has not been previously reported.

An Incidental Finding of a Sphenoid Sinolith: A Case Report

“…Since sinoliths are asymptomatic in the majority of people, they are not typically visualized or suspected until they are discovered incidentally on imaging [ 7 ]. Similarly, this patient’s sphenoid sinus calcification was discovered after undergoing a head CT to rule out ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.…”
