Sphenoid sinus, Computed tomography, Magnetic resonance imagingAbstract
The sphenoid sinus with its peculiar mucociliary drainage effected by pathology at the spheno-ethmoidal recess necessitates an intervention, medical or surgical. Role of basic imaging in pre-treatment evaluation is elaborated upon.
