An unusual headache: Sphenoiditis in children and adolescents
چکیده انگلیسی

Sphenoid sinus infection is a rare cause of headaches in children and adolescents. Its symptoms are often non-specific and confusing. The diagnosis is made on the history, examination, nasendoscopy, cultures and CT or MRI. Prompt and aggressive medical treatment in the form of parenteral antibiotics and nasal decongestants is advised to reduce the risk of serious complications such as permanent cranial neuropathies or intracranial spread. Surgical intervention is advocated when symptoms persist or complications develop. Although sphenoiditis is potentially devastating, early collaboration between pediatric medical and ENT surgical teams generally leads to an excellent outcome. This article presents three cases of adolescent sphenoid sinus infection, and reviews the literature on this uncommon condition.
