Authors: Rachel Cui Ai Lim, Elang Kumaran Krishnan, Salina Husain

Abstract

Pathology of sphenoid sinus is uncommon and may pose a diagnostic challenge in view of its vague symptoms together with its relatively inaccessible location at the skull base. Radiological imaging is of utmost importance in diagnosis. We present an insidious case of a sphenoid sinus cholesterol granuloma.
