| | Sphenoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medial to this is a triangular, serrated surface, for articulation with the frontal bone; this surface is continuous medially with the sharp edge, which forms the lower boundary of the superior orbital fissure, and laterally with the serrated margin for articulation with the zygomatic bone. | | | By the twenty-fifth year the sphenoid and occipital are completely fused. | | | Each bone articulates in front with the ethmoid, laterally with the palatine; its pointed posterior extremity is placed above the vomer, and is received between the root of the pterygoid process laterally and the rostrum of the sphenoid medially. |

| | Sphenoid sinus: Anatomic Study with Considerations of the Clinical Significance of the Structural Characteristics of the Sphenoid Sinus. | | | For surgeons who do not perform sphenoid sinus procedures often, the transseptal approach is safest because it is a midline approach in an area anatomically familiar to most otolaryngologists. | | | Infratemporal fossa approach This approach may be necessary for extensive sphenoid sinus neoplasms that have invaded the cavernous sinus, pterygomaxillary space, infratemporal fossa, and nasopharynx. |

| | However, because of the fact that the sphenoid sinus sits in the skull base with important neurological and vascular structures around it and in it, it is important when disease or complications of disease warrant surgery that surgical approaches are clear. | | | Disease in the sphenoid sinus should be approached with caution. | | | While this allows for endoscopic sphenoid surgery, it may be problematic for the microscope. |
