Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery in acromegaly with conchal sphenoid sinus.

Based on this surgical case, the conchal sphenoid sinus of acromegaly is not always homogeneous solid bone but may contain soft fatty tissue. Therefore, although the sphenoidal characteristics may have an impact on the surgical procedures, precise assessment pre- and intraoperatively can make transsphenoidal surgery with conchal sphenoid sinus feasible.
