An ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma within the sphenoid sinus.
A 68-year-old woman developed Cushingoid features three months prior to admission. She was found to have a markedly elevated plasma ACTH-cortisol level. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass in the left sphenoidal sinus, which had become enlarged to a point where it could not be removed by transsphenoidal surgery.

متن کاملNeuronavigation used for the transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma accompanied by a concha sphenoid sinus.
A concha non-pneumatized sphenoid is considered to be a contraindication for the transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma. Specifically, this anatomical variation makes it difficult to approach the sella turcica. However, in this report, an intra-operative navigational system was used as a guide to access the sella through the sphenoid sinus. This procedure was found to be both reasonab...
متن کاملEndoscopic anatomy of sphenoid sinus for pituitary surgery.
Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the sellar region yields an alternative to classical microsurgical approaches. Endoscopes provide images that differ from microscopic view. This study aimed to highlight surgical landmarks and their anatomical relationships for pituitary surgery through endoscopic perspective. Ten sides of five adult cadaveric heads with red-colored latex injecte...
متن کاملHepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis to the skull base, pituitary gland, sphenoid sinus, and cavernous sinus.

Patients presented with diplopia, retro-orbital headache, and multiple cranial nerves palsies. Pituitary metastases may require surgery as palliative treatment, and for the confirmation of histology.

In this article, we present an 18-year-old female patient suffering from headache and nasal obstruction without any skeletal or cranial anomalies. Axial, coronal and sagittal computed tomography revealed absent sphenoid sinuses. Surg...
