[Diagnosis by cranial computer tomography of sphenoidal sinusitis].
Sphenoidal sinusitis is an uncommon pathology potentially dangerous condition, that we can find in young population. Clinically it is very difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific symptoms, but cranial computer tomography confirms the diagnosis. The most cases were treated with antibiotics and recovered completely. We present a young man with isolated sphenoidal sinusitis who was managed in our medical centre, and a review of the literature.
