Sphenoid sinus tuberculosis in children-a rare entity.

Tuberculosis involving the sphenoid sinus is an unusual entity. Two cases of sphenoid tuberculosis in the pediatric age group are described along with a review of literature. In both cases, MRI was performed for radiological assessment followed by endoscopic biopsy to establish tissue diagnosis. The patients received antitubercular therapy and have shown good clinical response. Tuberculosis as a differential diagnosis of sphenoid lesions is to be kept in mind especially in tropical countries.

Rhinophycomycosis.

Rhinophycomycosis, a subcutaneous fungal infection, is less uncommon than many other frequently cited granulomatous lesions of the paranasal sinuses. Four illustrative cases are presented with their characteristic clinical, radiological and histopathological features. The initial origin of the swelling was always in the region of the nasal vestibule and ala. The therapeutic response to potassium iodide, ketaconazole and fluconazole was dramatic and sustained.
