Sphenoid Sinus – The sphenoid sinus, as the name suggests, is embedded in the sphenoid bone. The sphenoid bone is one of the seven bones that help to form the eye socket. Because of its proximity to the optic nerve, disease in the sphenoid sinus can cause particular pain and sensitivity for patients.
CPT 31288: Nasal/sinus endoscopy, surgical, with sphenoidotomy; with removal of tissue from the sphenoid sinus To break down the code definitions a little bit, the prefix sphenoid- means “of or pertaining to the sphenoid sinus” while the suffix – otomy means “to open.”

A maxillary sinus retention cyst is a lesion that develops on the inside of the wall of the maxillary sinus. They are often dome-shaped, soft masses that usually develop on the bottom of the maxillary sinus. Fortunately, a retention cyst of the maxillary sinus is a benign lesion, or non-cancerous.
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 .

Sphenoid wing meningiomas are slow growing tumors that originate from outer arachnoid meningeal epithelial cells. They are the most common tumor of the intracranial space to spread to the orbit.
General Discussion. Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is a rare cancer of the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses. Initial symptoms range from bloody nose, runny nose, double vision, and bulging eye to chronic infections and nasal obstruction.
Benign neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue of head, face and neck. D21. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
This detail is important to know when coding procedures performed in this sinus as we will see in a moment. Sphenoid Sinus – The sphenoid sinus, as the name suggests, is embedded in the sphenoid bone. The sphenoid bone is one of the seven bones that help to form the eye socket.
In the ethmoid sinus, we have two codes for excision of the air cells in the ethmoid sinus. CPT 31254 is reported for an anterior ethmoidectomy while CPT 31255 is reported for a total ethmoidectomy:
The first code 31256 is reported for the work of a maxillary antrostomy only without removal of tissue while the second code 31267 includes removal of tissue from the maxillary sinus in addition to the maxillary antrostomy:
In this picture, the maxillary sinuses are orange, the ethmoid sinuses are green, the sphenoid sinuses are yellow, and the frontal sinuses are pink to help you distinguish where each sinus begins and ends .
This sinus is sometimes referred to as the “antrum” or “antral” in operative reports so if you see these terms, know that they are referring to the maxillary sinus. Ethmoid Sinus – This sinus is located between the eyes close to the bridge of the nose.
CPT 31288: Nasal/sinus endoscopy, surgical, with sphenoidotomy; with removal of tissue from the sphenoid sinus. To break down the code definitions a little bit, the prefix sphenoid- means “of or pertaining to the sphenoid sinus” while the suffix – otomy means “to open.”.
Patients with normal anatomy have four sinuses in total. Each of these sinuses is “paired” with one sinus cavity on the left and the other on the right: Maxillary Sinus – The maxillary sinus is embedded in the upper portion of the maxillary bone (the upper jaw bone).
