A member asked:

What does 'prominent opacification including fluid level of the sphenoid sinuses' mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinusitis: A fluid level in your sinus is usually a sign of an infection with "pus" likely. I often treat this with antibiotics and a steroid nose spray for 2-4 weeks and repeat the CT scan. ENT doctor may be needed if it does not resolve. Google images for CT air fluid level in sphenoid sinus for pic
