Complications of sphenoid sinus surgery and transsphenoidal hypophysectomy

Sphenoid sinusitis may present with nonspecific symptoms, particularly when other sinuses are also inflamed. Diagnosis can be made with a combination of history, physical examination, and imaging. Prompt treatment is essential to avoid possible complications. Medical therapy focused on infection, inflammation, and obstruction may be adequate for resolution, but surgical intervention may be required in certain situations.
