Sphenoid sinus barotrauma after free diving.
We report 2 cases of a 29- and a 37-year-old male patient both having sphenoid sinus barotrauma associated with free diving at about 12-m depth. A unilateral occupation of the sphenoid sinus was revealed in both cases by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examination of the paranasal sinuses.
