ABSTRACT

Isolated sphenoid osteomas are very rare even in adults. There are extremely few publications on pediatric cases of sphenoid osteomas. This paper presents a case of isolated sphenoid osteoma combined with suppurative sphenoiditis in a 15-year-old patient. The child presented with persistent headache resistant to medical treatment. Endoscopic sphenotomy allowed both to remove osteoma and to relieve the symptoms of sinusitis. The presented case can be considered as the third detailed description of the sphenoid osteoma in children and the first demonstration of the effectiveness of the endoscopic approach for its removal.
