Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign bodies in maxillary sinus are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and only a few cases with non-dental origin are reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary to dental procedures are the most common way of insertion. Treatment is surgical remova...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) has become the surgical procedure of choice for resection of maxillary sinus inverted papillomas (IPs). Traditionally, IPs pedicled on the anterior and/or lateral walls of the maxillary sinus have required an adjuvant Caldwell-Luc approach due to decreased visualization with transnasal endoscopy in these locations. The objective of the ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 patients (11 women and 7 men) who underwent surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department ...

colleagues in this procedure as the zero degree endoscope was inserted into the nose through the left nostril, and was manipulated past the inferior concha into the middle meatus where the maxillary sinus was entered through the opening emoval of teeth where there is a close communication etween the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity can lead to he root being dislodged into the maxillary sinus...

A Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma rapidly forms a deep ulcer and invades the sinuses, orbital wall, palate. It is important to detect treat early as it can, although rarely, be accompanied by rapid ulcerative destruction sepsis due necrosis. An 80-year-old female visited our hospital complaining of right nasal congestion facial edema. fungal ball in maxillary sinus defect anterior wall maxilla were obse...

Introduction: The horizontal bony canal in the lateral maxillary wall is the site of anastomosis between the arterial branches from the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAa) and the infraorbital artery. This anatomic structure is known as the ‘alveolar antral artery’.   Materials and Methods: We performed a literature review. The anatomic location of the alveolar antral artery in the latera...

BACKGROUND Ectopic eruption of a tooth or osteoma rarely occurs within the maxillary sinus. Coexistence of these two rare entities in the maxillary sinus has never been reported in the English literature. CASE REPORT Herein, we present a 21 year-old male patient with osteoma and ectopic tooth in the left maxillary sinus treated with the removal of the ectopic tooth by endoscopic sinus surgery...

The standard management for the majority of benign jaw cysts is enucleation, marsupialisation, curettage and decompression. Enucleation has the advantage that the whole specimen is sent for microscopic evaluation so that more sinister pathological processes (i.e. squamous cell carcinoma) may not be missed. In a large cystic lesion, enucleation is still possible, but technical difficulties might...
