A flexible guide wire is then introduced into the targeted sinus to confirm access.
The sphenoid sinus is a paired paranasal sinus in the body of the sphenoid bone. It is one pair of the four paired paranasal sinuses. [1] The two sphenoid sinuses are separated from each other by a septum. Each sphenoid sinus communicates with the nasal cavity via the opening of sphenoidal sinus.
In most cases of sinus barotrauma, localized pain to the frontal area is the predominant symptom. This is due to pain originating from the frontal sinus, it being above the brow bones. Less common is pain referred to the temporal, occipital, or retrobulbar region. Epistaxis or serosanguineous secretion from the nose may occur.
The growths are sac-like, movable, and nontender, though face pain may occasionally occur. [1] They typically occur in both nostrils in those who are affected. [1] Complications may include sinusitis and broadening of the nose. [2] The exact cause is unclear. [1] They may be related to chronic inflammation of the lining of the sinuses. [1]
