Abstract:
Osteoma is the most common benign tumour of the nose
and paranasal sinuses. However, involvement of the
sphenoid sinus by osteoma is rare. Most of the time,
patients with paranasal sinus osteoma are asymptomatic.
However, symptoms may present, depending on the location
and extension of the tumour. We report a case of a patient
with sphenoethmoidal osteoma found incidentally on
imaging, with evidence of impingement onto the optic nerve
at the optic canal. However, the patient was asymptomatic.
He was surgically treated using the endoscopic transnasal
approach.
