Close Proximity

<p class="abstract">Intrinsic or extrinsic cysts are common maxillary antral lesions as there is close proximity between the maxillary antrum and maxillary teeth. Main stay of treatment is complete surgical excision. Endoscopic trans nasal middle meatus corridor and the canine fossa approach facilitate 360-degree access, resection and removal of cystic lesions of the maxillary antrum. Bimodal technique to treat maxillary cysts that have expanded into the maxillary sinus is discussed here.  </p>

The Ideal

Prompt preoperative diagnosis of duodenal duplication cyst is uncommon owing to its extreme rarity. The ideal treatment of intestinal duplication cyst is complete surgical excision, though in few cases, due to the proximity to the bilio-pancreatic duct, the complete excision is not possible. We herein present an infant presenting with bilious vomiting starting few days after birth. Ultrasonography and CT scan provided the diagnosis of the duplication cyst in relation to duodenum. A successful surgical management by a subtotal excision was done. Although duodenal duplication is seldom seen, it should be considered in differential diagnoses of upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) occlusion.

Abstract Tumors of the maxillary sinus pose difficult challenges in a young patient. Our paper presents a very rare case of an odontogenic myxoma extended to the maxillary sinus, in a 14-year-old girl. The clinical picture suggested a malignancy or a local infection. The surgical removal was complete and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Discussions are made from the perspective of already published cases. A review of the disease is performed. CONCLUSION. Myxoma is a benign but aggressive tumor, needing complete surgical excision for a good long-term outcome.

Base Of The Skull

Chordoma of the skull base has a poor prognosis because of the proximity of vital structures as well as the difficulty encountered in attempting complete surgical excision. This paper presents a case of massive recurrent chordoma involving the intracranial cavity, nasal cavity, and maxillary antrum. The tumor was debulked and decompressed via a transantral approach to the pterygomaxillary fossa and the base of the skull. This technique is recommended because it achieves immediate decompression and provides a space into which the inevitable regrowth of the tumor may extend.

Background An antrochoanal polyp (ACP) originates from the maxillary antrum and simple excision results in high recurrence rates. Canine fossa puncture (CFP) has been proposed as an alternative method of accessing the entire maxillary antrum. To investigate the long-term effects of the CFP approach on changes in the maxillary sinus volume in pediatric patients with an ACP, we compared the sinus volume on the operated and normal sides, using preoperative computed tomography (CT), and postoperative CT performed at least 3 years after the procedure. The surgical outcomes were also assessed using endoscopic and CT findings. Methods Seven patients met the inclusion criteria and the ACP was removed via the CFP approach. After a mean follow-up period of 43.9 months, we compared the changes in the maxillary sinus volume between the operated and normal sides, using the pre- and postoperative CT data. Results No contractures or decrease in the maxillary sinus volume on the diseased side were observed in any of the patients on postoperative CT, and the average volume of both maxillary sinuses was greater on postoperative CT compared with the preoperative scans. None of the patients showed evidence of recurrence on the endoscopic and CT examinations. Conclusion CFP did not affect the maxillary sinus volume in pediatric patients with an ACP and led to a successful surgical outcome in all of the patients. Based on these results, we recommend CFP as a safe, effective method for the treatment of ACP.

Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a foreign body reaction to the deposition of cholesterol crystals, usually found in association to chronic middle ear diseases, being highly uncommon in the paranasal sinuses. This article reports a case of CG in the maxillary sinus of a 22-year-old man, manifesting as a swelling on the right maxilla associated with pain and nasal obstruction. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus with cortical bone expansion and destruction. Incisional biopsy showed a solid mass filling the sinus and histological examination showed foreign body reaction to cholesterol crystals. The microscopic findings associated to tooth vitality, CT images and absence of a cavity during the surgical procedure were compatible with the diagnosis of CG of the maxillary sinus. Complete surgical excision of the mass under general anesthesia was suggested, but the patient did not return to conclude the treatment. CG must be included in differential diagnosis of diseases that cause opacification on the paranasal sinuses, especially sinusitis, and cystic and tumoral lesions.

Follicular Cysts

BACKGROUND: Follicular cysts are osteolytic lesions characterized by greater growth, differentiation, and degeneration potentials, compared to inflammatory root cysts. Those connected to upper third molars can disrupt the neighboring teeth and extend to maxillary sinus and adjacent anatomical structures. CASE PRESENTATION: In this study, we present a case of a large dimension follicular cyst associated with the upper third molar, extended to maxillary antrum and pterygomaxillary space, uncommon for dimensions, involving meso- and sovra-structure describing the clinical diagnostic procedures, and the surgical strategies adopted. The cone-beam computed tomography allowed a very accurate analysis of the lesion. Surgical excision was performed through Caldwell-Luc technique, approaching to the pterygomaxillary space. A 1-year follow-up shows good clinical, anatomical, and functional conditions. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of follicular cyst. CONCLUSION: Giant follicular cysts require an accurate pre-operative study due to the delicate structures that may be involved.

ABSTRACT Aim Minimally invasive method for retrieving displaced objects like implants from the maxillary antrum with minimal complications. Background Minimal invasive endoscopic surgery has been developed for various indications in the craniomaxillofacial area. Case description In this article, a technique for endoscopic removal of a dental implant displaced into the maxillary sinus is presented. Access to the implant was achieved transorally via the canine fossa. The endoscopic surgical approach described was reliable and minimally invasive for removing dental materials displaced into the maxillary sinus. Conclusion Transantral endoscopic surgery is a reliable, minimally invasive method for retrieving displaced objects from the maxillary antrum with minimal complications.

Abstract Background Lymphatic malformations are rare benign cystic tumors that result from localized disordered embryologic development of the lymphatic system and can develop anywhere in the body, predominantly in the head and neck. These lesions are classified according to the diameter of the largest cystic cavity within the lesion into microcystic and macrocystic types. Historically, surgical excision has been considered the mainstay of treatment and still remains the first therapeutic option of choice for many surgeons particularly for giant macrocystic lesions. Several alternative therapeutic modalities emerged including intralesional sclerotherapy and laser therapy with encouraging results. The study is designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of surgical excision as an initial therapeutic option in the management of these malformations. Results Asymptomatic mass with parental cosmetic and functional concerns was the mode of presentation in six (66.7%) patients. Seven (77.8%) patients were presented before the age of 2 years. Six (66.7%) of the patients had their lesions in the neck. Complete surgical excision was achieved in eight (88.9%) patients without any evident significant injury to vital neurovascular structures. None of the patients had any difficulties with breathing, swallowing, or phonation and cosmetic results were satisfactory in the majority (88.9%) of them. Conclusion Radical surgical excision of giant macrocystic lymphatic malformations in children is possible in experienced hands. It is an effective and safe initial therapeutic option and gives satisfactory esthetic and functional results.

AbstractA case of a large dentigerous cyst containing a canine tooth in the maxillary antrum is presented. This case is of interest due because of its extensiveness and thepresence of a canine tooth in the roof of the maxillary sinus. In addition, this caused aright-sided epiphora. Enucleation of the cyst containing the ectopic tooth was made.
