Abstract

The lateral recess of a well-pneumatized sphenoid sinus is challenging to access surgically. Traditional methods require the use of multiple angled endoscopes and curved instruments which may limit visualization. We describe a prelacrimal-transpterygoid/maxillary approach which offers direct access to this region with a 0° endoscope.
