Popis:	Abstract The transsphenoidal approach to lesions of the sella turcica, especially for pituitary tumors, has been favored by neurosurgeons because of decreased perioperative patient morbidity and mortality of this approach compared with others. It is widely accepted because of its minimally invasive and maximally effective procedure. We report a rare case of a 63-year-old female patient with the asymptomatic delayed occurrence of sphenoid pyocele, 6 years after the initial pituitary surgery, and remained asymptomatic during this long interval.
