Purpose of reviewTo review cause, clinical evaluation, medical and surgical management of isolated sphenoid sinus diseases. Recent findingsEarly diagnosis of isolated sphenoid sinus diseases requires a high index of clinical suspicion and appropriate radiological imaging. Sphenoid sinus can be approached endoscopically via a few different surgical techniques. SummaryIsolated sphenoid sinus diseases are uncommon, with nonspecific clinical presentation. Early diagnosis requires a high index of… 
Mucocele of the Sphenoid Sinus as a Rare Cause of Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy : Case Report and Review of the Literature
TLDR
A 59-year-old male presented with a 2-week history of sudden ptosis of his right eyelid and right internal ophthalmoplegia and mucocele of the right sphenoid sinus with diabetes and chronic rhinosinusitis was confirmed.
Management of sphenoid lateral recess encephalocoeles
TLDR
Sphenoid sinus lateral recess encephalocoeles management should be tailored to the specific anatomical variances and cause, and modifications of techniques have been described giving different options to access the lateral recess.
Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea in the Sphenoid Sinus Lateral Recess Through an Endoscopic Endonasal Transpterygoid Approach With Obliteration of the Lateral Recess.
TLDR
The endoscopic endonasal transpterygoid approach gives appropriate access for the treatment of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea in the sphenoid sinus lateral recess and Multilayer reconstruction of a skull base defect with obliteration of the lateral recess is a reliable and simple method.
Ectopic pituitary adenomas: clinical features, diagnostic challenges and management
TLDR
Ectopic pituitary adenomas in the cavernous sinus and suprasellar space were more likely to be initially misdiagnosed as a suspicious intrasella mass on imaging examination, and nuclear medicine and surgical biopsy should also be considered when facing differential difficulty.

TLDR
Given the high prevalence of noninflammatory lesions within the sphenoid sinus, thorough preoperative evaluation is imperative and should include nasal endoscopy and computed tomography to help define the location, extent, and character of the lesion.

TLDR
An important feature emerging on studying these lesions was that a preoperative diagnosis, made possible by nasal endoscopy and CT/MRI scan, was invaluable in planning the treatment of these patients.

Isolated sphenoid sinus disease: an analysis of 122 cases.
TLDR
A retrospective review of 122 patients with ISSD who were treated at the Department of Otolaryngology, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital at Shanghai Medical University over a 25-year period finds the most common initial symptom was headache, followed in decreasing order by visual changes, cranial nerve palsies, and nasal symptoms.
Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Isolated Pathologies of the Sphenoid Sinus: Retrospective Study of 46 Cases
TLDR
A prevalence of inflammatory and infectious diseases was found, and endoscopic surgery for the sphenoid sinus approach is effective in treating various diseases of the isolated sphenoids, whether complicated or not.
Isolated Sphenoid Sinus Disease: An Analysis of 132 Cases
TLDR
Radiographically, bone remodeling was associated with chronic inflammatory disease, especially mucoceles, and bone erosion was found principally with neoplastic disease, occurring rarely with muCOceles.
