    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to review isolated sphenoid sinus disease, to establish correct diagnosis and to treat it effectively in the future. METHOD: 26 patients underwent endoscopic surgery, in which 20 sphenoid sinus mucocoeles were removed and 6 sphenoid sinuses were explored. 3 sphenoid sinus mucocoeles were removed by external approach, 1 patient underwent skull base surgery and decompression of optic nerve. RESULT: 24 patients were free from disease postoperatively within 0.5-4 years follow-up, 2 patients underwent re-operation because of recurrence, 1 patient was undergoing radiotherapy, 3 patients could not contact. CONCLUSION: This study shows that CT not only makes contribution to establish correct diagnosis but also plays an important role in surgery of isolated sphenoid sinus disease.
