Abstract

Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is an uncommon entity in children. Patients usually present with headache, high fever, weakness, and other non-specific symptoms of the neighboring structures of the sphenoid sinus. In this paper, three children with isolated sphenoid sinusitis are presented. None of the patients had any neurologic deficits. Diagnosis was made by computed tomography in two patients, and by magnetic resonance imaging in one patient. Bacteriological examination was not made because the patients did not have nasal discharge. All the patients were treated with ceftriaxone, which resulted in full recovery without the need for surgical interventions.

Özet

İzole sfenoid sinüzit, nadir görüldüğü için gözden kaçabilecek bir hastalıktır. Hastalar genellikle baş ağrısı, yüksek ateş, halsizlik ve sfenoid sinüsün anatomik olarak yakın komşuluklarmdaki yapılara bağlı, özgül olmayan sorunlarla başvururlar. Bu yazıda izole sfenoid sinüzitili üç çocuk hasta sunuldu. Başvuru sırasında olguların hiçbirinde herhangi bir nörolojik defisit yoktu. İki olguda tanı bilgisayarlı tomografi, bir olguda manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile kondu. Nazal akıntı görülmediğinden, olgulardan kültür için materyal alınamadı. Tüm olgular seftriakson ile tedavi edildi. Olguların tümünde cerrahi girişime gerek duyulmaksızın klinik iyileşme görüldü.
