The following medical conditions increase your chances of getting sinusitis:
Symptoms of Sphenoid Sinusitis. Because of its position, a sphenoid sinus infection can cause the following symptoms: loss of smell. headache at the top of the head or deep behind the forehead. earache. neck pain. In severe cases, the patient may also experience face swelling and loss of muscle movement.

ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J01 sinusitis NOS (J32. 9); chronic sinusitis (J32. 0-J32. 8); acute abscess of sinus; acute empyema of sinus; acute infection of sinus; acute inflammation of sinus; acute suppuration of sinus; code (B95-B97) to identify infectious agent.

Chronic sphenoid rhinosinusitis (CSRS) is defined as a. spectrum of either inflammatory or infective diseases occurring exclusively in sphenoid sinus which last for at least 12 weeks without complete resolution [1]. This may include fungal rhinosinusitis, bacterial rhinosinusitis, and mucocele.
“If sinusitis is documented on three or more sinuses unilaterally, you will apply code J32. 4 (Chronic pansinusitis). All of the chronic sinusitis codes are found in the J32- section of the ICD-10 index, which falls under the subsection'Other diseases of upper respiratory tract (J30-J39).
What is acute sinusitis? Acute sinusitis is a short-term inflammation of the sinuses, most often including a sinus infection. (Sinusitis is also known as rhinosinusitis because the swelling almost always includes nasal tissue as well as sinus tissue.) The sinuses are four paired cavities (spaces) in the head.
Acute sinusitis is most often caused by the common cold. Signs and symptoms may include a blocked and stuffy (congested) nose, which may block your sinuses and prevent drainage of mucus. Acute sinusitis is most often caused by the common cold, which is an infection with a virus.

craniumThe sphenoid is an unpaired bone. It sits anteriorly in the cranium, and contributes to the middle cranial fossa, the lateral wall of the skull, and the floor and sides of both orbits. It has articulations with twelve other bones: Unpaired bones – Occipital, vomer, ethmoid and frontal bones.
Sphenoid sinusitis can be caused by both bacterial and viral infections that impact the upper respiratory system. Other possible factors include a weakened immune system, tooth abscesses, nasal polyps, nasal defects and enlarged adenoids.
Ethmoid inflammation also can cause a stuffy nose, a loss of smell, and tenderness when you touch the sides of your nose. If you have earaches, neck pain, and deep achiness at the top of your head, you may have infection in the sphenoid sinuses, although these sinuses are less frequently affected.
Upper respiratory tract infections (URI or URTI) are illnesses caused by an acute infection which involves the upper respiratory tract including the nose, sinuses, pharynx or larynx. This commonly includes tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, and the common cold.
