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.
These include:
J34. 89 - Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code J01. 90 for Acute sinusitis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
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.
J01. 90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J01.

skullThe sphenoid bone is one of the most complex bones of the human body. Due to its shape, it is also referred to as the 'wasp bone'. It makes up most of the middle part of the base of the skull and contributes to the floor of the middle cranial fossa of the skull.
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.
sphenoethmoidal recessThe sphenoidal sinus opens into the sphenoethmoidal recess of the nasal cavity. The floor of the sinus is in the roof of the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx.
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.
473.9ICD-9 code 473.9 for Unspecified sinusitis (chronic) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OTHER DISEASES OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT (470-478).
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.
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.
Sphenoid sinus infections can cause severe complications that are potentially fatal and therefore must never be underestimated.
In general, start medical treatment of acute sphenoid sinusitis once the diagnosis is made. Institute antibiotics and decongestants for 24 hours, and if the patient does not improve over this time course, schedule surgical therapy. If the patient has evidence of complications, undertake urgent surgical decompression.
How to treat sphenoid sinusitis? Many sphenoid sinusitis symptoms, such as post nasal drip and sinus congestion, can be treated with a nasal nebulizer. Nasal nebulizers deliver both prescription and over-the-counter medications deep within the sinuses to help treat and cure the underlying causes.
