Report of a Case

Peter M. Som, MD; Ved P. Sachdev, MD; Hugh F. Biller, MD

Arch Otolaryngol. 1983;109(11):761-764.

Abstract
• Only five previous paranasal sinus pneumoceles have been described and all occurred in the maxillary antra. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a sphenoid sinus pneumocele. Clinically it was seen as recurrent episodes of leftsided blindness occurring only during airplane flights. The roentgenographic findings and the differential diagnosis are discussed.
