The cysts that originate in the remnants of dental lamina or enamel organ are known as odontogenic cysts. They are of great interest to otolaryngologists due to their proximity to the maxillary sinus and adjacent areas.1 Radicular cysts represent 72.5% of all odontogenic cysts, followed by dentigerous cysts (DC) (22.2%), and residual cysts (RC) (4.26%).2 The options for treatment of cystic lesi...

Sacral perineurial (Tarlov) cysts are rare lesions. Over a seven year period 4000 patients underwent surgery for lumbar disk herniation. In three patients neurological symptoms were caused by large sacral perineurial cysts. Methods of choice for diagnosis of Tarlov cysts are lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography myelography. The majority of Tarlov cysts are asymptom...

Congenital liver cysts are not as rare as it was thought in the past. Thanks to new imaging diagnostic techniques, these cysts have been discovered with increasing frequency. Uncomplicated congenital liver cysts are usually asymptomatic or followed by mild symptoms. Various complications of these cysts were reported. Infection of the congenital liver cyst is, however, very rare complication. A ...

Splenic cysts are a rare entity in the Western population and are either true cysts (primary, 25%) or pseudocysts (secondary, 75%) complicating trauma, haemorrhage or infarction. Congenital or simple splenic cysts are the commonest primary cysts and surgery is recommended for cysts larger than 5 cm as these are prone to infection, bleeding or rupture and for symptomatic or complicated cysts. Sp...

The problems of cardio-vascular surgery in infancy cannot be satisfactorily included in this short review, which will deal with thoracic diseases other than those of the heart and great vessels. The problems will be considered under five headings:I. Oesophageal atresia and stenosis. 2. Diaphragmatic hernia. 3. Mediastinal cysts and neoplasms. 4. Lung cysts and infections. 5. Deformities of the ...

Thoracic duct cysts may occur either in the mediastinum or in the neck. The majority of such lesions occurring in the neck consist of chylous fistulae and are secondary to surgery on the neck. Fewer than five cases have been reported in the literature of primary thoracic duct cysts occurring in the neck (1).

Bronchogenic cysts are relatively common mediastinal cysts. Here, we report removal of a rare paraoesophageal-type bronchogenic cyst by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in a 52-year-old male patient. The defect of the oesophageal wall was successfully reinforced with an intercostal muscle flap.

A 14-year-old boy presented with 3 months of generalized headache that had increased in intensity and frequency with associated light-headedness. Primary arachnoid cysts result from developmental abnormalities; more rare secondary cysts develop as a result of head injury, meningitis, tumors, or as a complication of brain surgery.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Lumbar facet joint synovial cysts are benign degenerative abnormalities of the lumbar spine. Previous reports have supported operative and nonoperative management. Facet joint steroid injection with cyst rupture is occasionally performed, but there has been no systematic evaluation of this treatment option. PURPOSE To profile the role of facet joint steroid injections with ...

currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. there are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. in this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. this is a prospective co...
