abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the surgical experience of endoscopic sinus surgery for the patients with sphenoid sinus disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-one patients of sphenoid sinus diseases were treated with endoscopy by nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During 3 months to four years following up, 20 patients were free from disease postoperatively, 1 patient underwent reoperation because of recurrence.
