AbstractObjective:To present a previously unreported cause of frontal mucocele.Case report:A patient presented with a frontal mucocele and maxillary sinusitis. Computed tomography revealed an ectopic maxillary tooth as the cause of her signs and symptoms. Removal of the tooth by a Caldwell–Luc procedure facilitated resolution of the mucocele. Conventional treatment of mucoceles by endoscopic sinus surgery, and other rhinological sequelae of ectopic teeth, are considered.Conclusion:This is the first documented case of an ectopic tooth causing a frontal mucocele, and demonstrates how effectively the patient's symptoms resolved on removal of the tooth.

Abstract This article presents a rare case report of an ectopic third molar tooth located in the medial wall of maxillary sinus in a young male manifesting as recurrent sinusitis along with upper jaw pain and postnasal discharge diagnosed with an ectopic tooth and bilateral dentigerous cysts. This article aims to discuss this rare presentation of an ectopic tooth as a cause of recurrent maxillary sinusitis and the endonasal endoscopic management of the case.

AbstractObjectives:To present a patient with a frontal sinus keratoma removed solely via endoscopic sinus surgery, including presentation of characteristic computed tomography and magnetic resonance images; to discuss the differential diagnosis of this condition; and to report the current knowledge on and treatment of frontal sinus keratoma.Case report:A 53-year-old man presented to our department with a 10-month history of rhinorrhoea and postnasal drip. After computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies, the patient underwent surgery utilising a modified Lothrop procedure. An extensive soft tissue lesion was removed from the frontal sinus. Histological examination revealed a lamellated cluster of keratinous material. The pathological diagnosis was keratoma of the frontal sinus. There was no recurrence of keratoma over a two-year follow-up period.Conclusions:Following review of the English language literature, we believe this case report to represent the first successful application of a modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure for resection of an extensive frontal sinus keratoma. Thus, the applications of endoscopic sinus surgery may be expanded to include frontal sinus keratoma removal.

Oroantral Fistula

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a disease in which inflammation from the teeth extend into the maxillary sinus, causing symptoms of unilateral sinusitis. OMS can recur, with some being resistant to antibiotics. In intractable cases, exodontia and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) are necessary treatments. Here we report our analysis on the indications for surgical intervention in cases diagnosed with and treated as OMS. We retrospectively examined 186 patients who were diagnosed with sinusitis on a computed tomography (CT) scan. For cases diagnosed with OMS, the site of the causative tooth and the presence or absence of oroantral fistula to the maxillary sinus was examined. In addition, we analyzed the therapeutic efficacy of the initial treatment of antibiotics, and what the indications were for ESS. Among the patients examined, OMS was diagnosed in 44 cases (23.6%). In 14 out of 20 cases that underwent a post-medical treatment CT scan, OMS found to be treatment-resistant. Of these 14 cases, 12 (88%) had oroantral fistulae to the maxillary sinus. In all cases where exodontia, fistula closure surgery, and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) were performed, the fistula disappeared and the shadow of inflammation in the paranasal sinus improved. In OMS with oroantral fistula, ESS, exodontia, and fistula closure should be recommended over medication such as macrolide therapy.

The aim of this case report was to report the course of treatment for advanced paranasal sinus infection triggered by peri-implantitis, managed using functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), with outcomes. A nonsmoking male patient received sinus augmentation with implant placement on his left posterior maxilla 15 years ago. Possibly due to noncompliance to maintenance, peri-implantitis developed and progressed into the augmented bone area in the maxilla. Eventually, maxillary sinusitis occurred concomitantly with a spread of the infection to the other paranasal sinuses. Implant removal and intraoral debridement of inflammatory tissue were performed, but there was no resolution. Subsequently, FESS was performed, with removal of nasal polyp and sequestrum. After FESS, the patient's sinusitis resolved. Histologically, the sequestrum was composed of bone substitute particles, necrotic bone, stromal fibrosis, and a very limited cellular component. Two implants were placed on the present site, and no adverse event occurred for up to 1 year after the insertion of the final prosthesis. Peri-implantitis in the posterior maxilla can trigger maxillary sinusitis with concomitant infection to the neighboring paranasal sinuses. FESS should be considered to treat this condition.

A case report of optic neuritis, a previously unreported complication following endoscopic sinus surgery, is presented with a review of the diagnosis, postulated pathophysiology, and treatment. Optic neuritis is an inflammatory condition involving the optic nerve and should be considered in the differential diagnosis inpatients who present with ocular complaints following endoscopic sinus surgery. Aggressive evaluation including computed tomography of the orbit and paranasal sinuses to rule out retroorbital hematoma, abscess or bony dehiscence, as well as ophthalmology consultation is essential. Prompt recognition of optic neuritis and institution of high dose corticosteroids and antibiotics may prevent visual loss.

Objective: To report a case of a large sinus Haller cell that presented with chronic rhinosinusitis and proptosis and its surgical management. Method:             Design:            Case Report             Setting:            Tertiary Government Hospital             Participants:    One (1) Results: A 34-year-old lady with proptosis and secondary sinusitis due to a giant infected Haller cell was successfully treated by lateral rhinotomy approach and clearance of all diseased mucosa therein into the nasal cavity. Conclusion: Approach to diseased sinonasal structures via lateral rhinotomy is an alternative to endoscopic sinus surgery in the presence of an unusually large Haller cell.

Introduction A pneumocele is an abnormal dilation of an air-containing sinus beyond the normal margins of bone, with associated bony thinning. A delayed ethmoid pneumocele after sinus surgery has not previously been reported. Methods A case report of a patient with a delayed ethmoid pneumocele after sinus surgery. The diagnostic workup, operative approach, and postoperative results were evaluated. Results A 57-year-old female with a history of endoscopic sinus surgery 15 years prior presented with right eye proptosis and severe orbital and facial pressure. A maxillofacial computed tomography showed a markedly expanded air-filled right anterior ethmoid space with a dehiscent lamina papyracea, consistent with a pneumocele. Marsupialization of the pneumocele as well as a revision ethmoidectomy were performed, with a visible return of the orbital contents to a more natural position. The patient experienced worsened diplopia immediately postoperatively that resolved within two weeks. Conclusions This case demonstrates that a pneumocele can present even years after endoscopic sinus surgery, and acute but temporary development or worsening of diplopia can result from surgical decompression of the pneumocele as the eye returns to its natural position.
