A member asked:
If the sphenoid sinus is opacifying increasingly on an interval, can it ever go away and become clear on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends..: Depends on the reson of opacification. If it is an infection (sinusitis) it may get better. If its due to amss lesion in the sphenooid sinus (like a tumor) most probably it is there to stay , if not treated. Hope this helps.
