ectopic eruption of teeth occurs in a variety of locations. commonly seen in palate and maxillary sinus, they have also been reported in nasal cavity, orbit, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, and facial skin. here, we report a rare case of recurrent sinusitis caused by ectopic tooth in right ethmoid sinus and successful endoscopic removal of it. the symptoms of the patient disappeared after...

Nasal epithelium lies on the basement membrane, situated on the lamina propria. Pseudostratified columnar (respiratory) epithelium is composed of four major types of cells: ciliated cells, nonciliate cells, goblet cells and basal cells, ensuring mucus production and transport, resorption of surface materials, and formation of new epithelial cells. Lamina propria consists of two layers of seromu...

Tranexamic acid (TA) is an antifibrinolytic agent which reduces bleeding following certain surgical procedures. The present study was performed on 56 patients, scheduled for elective endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia, to examine the effects of topical TA on providing a bloodless surgical field and evaluate the bleeding volume. The study comprised 26 patients who received topical...
