Abstract

Isolated disease of sphenoid sinus is rare, representing 2-3% of all paranasal sinus lesions. Usually it is inflammatory in origin; very rarely it is due to neoplasm. Isolated sphenoid sinus diseases are difficult to diagnose and to treat because either the symptoms are very vague or they present to us very late as a result of disease complications. Here we are presenting a case of isolated sphenoidal sinusitis.[2] Case Summary: A 38-year-old female patient presented with the symptoms of vertigo associated with nausea and vomiting, insomnia, dizziness and frontal headache since 3-4 years. On 21.04.2023 the case was taken and the medicine Natrum Mur 200 CH Potency, 2 doses were given on the basis of totality of symptoms but did not get any relief after the administration so, after re-case taking Conium Mac 200 CH potency was given on the basis of keynote prescription. The patient exhibited improvement till Conium Maculatum 1M Potency but after the symptoms became stand still recase taking was done. After repertorization, Calcarea Carbonica 200 CH Potency was given, marked improvement was seen after few follow-ups. This case is a testimony of the usefulness of homoeopathy. Further research could define the role of homoeopathy in management of isolated sphenoidal sinusitis.
