ABSTRACT
Postoperative maxillary cyst is a late complication that occurs after maxillary sinus radical surgery. The only curative treatment is surgery, and endoscopic fenestration is currently performed in most cases. However, in some cases, it is difficult to form a permanent fenestration. Here, we report a case of postoperative maxillary cyst which was reduced by administration of kumibinroto and could avoid surgery. The case was a 58-year-old man. He received bilateral maxillary sinus radical surgery 40 years ago. He had swelling of his left cheek for half a year and took an antibacterial drug at a nearby doctor, but he was referred to our department because there was no improvement. We diagnosed him with a postoperative maxillary cyst based on CT findings, but it was considered difficult to form a permanent fenestration due to the small contact area between the nasal cavity and the cyst. He refused to puncture from the oral cavity, so we planned endoscopic surgery and administered kumibinroto to him. After 6 weeks, the swelling of the left cheek disappeared. After 12 weeks, CT showed shrinkage of the cyst, and surgery could be avoided. No further cyst shrinkage was observed, and we reduced the dose of kumibinroto after 20 weeks. He is now being followed up.
ABSTRACT
Postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) is relatively common complication among patients who underwent Caldwell-Luc surgery. Patients with POMC usually have no symptoms, although cyst extension can result in bone destruction or cystic infection with pain. The trigeminal nerve consists of the ophthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, and mandibular nerve. Among these branches, the maxillary nerve runs to the lateral and frontal sides of the maxillary sinus wall. POMC can rarely lead to trigeminal neuropathy caused by cyst enlargement that compresses some branches of the trigeminal nerve. Recently, we experienced a case with trigeminal neuralgia due to POMC. The patient was successfully treated with inferior meatal antrostomy. We report this rare case with a literature review.

Objective To explore the feasibility and evaluate its efficacy of transnasal marsupialization of maxillary cyst under nasal endoscope. Methods 15 cases of maxillary cyst were treated by endoscopic marsupialization in nasal. According to the situation of maxillary cysts, the fenestration of bottom nasal was opened in 6 cases, the fenestration of inferior nasal meatus was opened in 7 cases and inferior nasaI meatus was opened through the prelacrimal duct recess in 2 cases under the nasal endoscope. With partial removal of the cyst wall, the cyst and maxillary sinus was fused into a cavity if necessary. This ensured nasal drainage through the cyst cavity and nasal cavity or maxillary sinus. Results The operations of the 15 patients were success without complications. All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months after operation. Operation cavity to complete epithelization in 2 to 3 months, the cyst cavity drained well with no recurrence. Conclusion Endoscopic marsupialization in nasal is a feasible alternative for management maxillary cyst. It makes the procedure simple, less traumatic, quick recovery, definite curative effect and low recurrence rate.
ABSTRACT
El tumor odontogénico adenomatoide es una neoplasia de tipo benigno hamartomatosa de origen odontogénico, se presenta en pacientes jóvenes, siendo el género femenino y la región maxilar los más afectados, de crecimiento lento, asintomáticos, se relacionan a órganos dentarios no erupcionados principalmente el canino, clínicamente se clasifica como: folicular, extrafolicular y periférico, el tratamiento para esta lesión es la enucleación y curetaje de la zona afectada sin observarse recidiva.
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a hamartomous benign neoplasia of odontogenic origin. It appears mostly in young patients and females, the maxillary region being the most affected. It is a slow-growing, asymptomatic lesion. It is related to non-erupted teeth, mainly canines. Lesions of this type can be clinically classified as a follicular, extra follicular and peripheral lesions. Treatment for these lesions is enucleation and curettage of affected area. No recurrence has been observed.
ABSTRACT
Los quistes dentígeros suelen ser, en la mayor parte de los casos, un hallazgo casual; por lo general se descubren al investigar la no erupción de un diente permanente. Ocupan el segundo lugar en frecuencia de aparición en los maxilares después del quiste radicular. Cuando el seno maxilar es invadido por estos quistes los síntomas usualmente aparecen tardíos en el proceso. Estos pueden incluir dolor facial, parestesia como consecuencia de la presión sobre un nervio, dolor de cabeza, trismo, trastornos de la gustación y congestión nasal. Por lo infrecuente de la localización maxilar y la corta edad de la paciente nos vimos motivados a revisar lo màs reciente de la bibliografía que aborda este tema y a presentar el caso clínico de una paciente femenina de 17 años que fue diagnosticada y tratada por presentar un quiste dentígero en dicha ubicación. Se enfatiza en la importancia del correcto diagnóstico y el establecimiento de una terapéutica concordante en cada caso(AU)
Dentigerous cysts are a casual finding in most of cases, in general discovered in investigation of a not eruption of permanent tooth. These occupy the second place in appearance frequency in maxillaries after radicular cyst. When maxillary sinus is invaded by these cysts, symptoms usually appear late in the process. These could include facial pain, paresthesia as consequence of pressure on nerve, headache, trismus, taste disorders and nasal congestion. Due the infrequent of the maxillary location and the short age of patient we reviewed the more recent of bibliography on this subject and to present the clinical case of other female patient aged 17 diagnosed with and treated by dentigerous cyst in such location, emphasizing on the significance of a appropriate diagnosis and establishment of a therapy in accord in each case(AU)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Among the postoperative complications of Caldwell-Luc operation, maxillary cysts are sometimes difficult to manage properly by conventional revision Caldwell-Luc procedure. However, with the advent of endoscopic procedures, the technique of intranasal fenestration operation through the inferior meatus has been improved. This study evaluate the surgical results of inferior meatal fenestration operation and examines the clinical indication of this technique. The authors also review surgical cases of postoperative maxillary cyst. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We reviewed 58 cases of postoperative maxillary cyst which were treated surgically in the last 10 years. We analyzed their chief complaints such as sex, age, duration between the initial surgery and the presentation of the symptoms, symptom relief after revision surgery, and the recurrence rate of each surgical techniques. Sites of the cyst in the maxillary sinus and the existence of the septa were analysed radiologically by using computed tomograms of paranasal sinuses. Fourty-eight cases received inferior meatal fenestration operation and 12 cases received revision Caldwell-Luc operation. RESULTS: Inferior meatal fenestration operation could be best indicated in the patients with bulging cysts in the inferior meatus. However, the non-bulging cysts which tare in contact with the inferior metus and those with the inferior metus and those with incomplete septa were also treated with the inferior meatal fenestration operation without recurrence. Comparing with the revision Caldwel-Luc procedure, the inferior meatal fenestration operation was less time consuming and provided less postoperative discomfort for the patients. Also, since the operation is carried out under the direct endoscopic control, fine procedures and the removal of septa in the cysts were possible. CONCLUSIONS: For inferior meatal fenesration operation, the need for a pre-operative endoscopic nasal examination and an evaluation of comography should be emphasized before selecting the suitable method of treatment. Inferior meatal fenestration operations appear to be the most suitable treatment for cases where cysts bulge into the inferior meatus.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative maxillary cyst(POMC) occurs as a delayed complication following Caldwell-Luc(C-L) operation. Revisional C-L operation has been preferred by most surgeons. Recently, marsupialization with intranasal endoscope has been increased in the management of POMC. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this sutdy was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of POMC and the relationship between location of the cyst on axial PNS CT and surgical approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 24 patients(26 sides) were reviewed from 1990 to 1996. According to the classification methods of Nakamura, sixteen cases were located in medial, two cases in posterolateral and eight cases in anterolateral of the maxilla. RESULTS: The 22 cases including medial(16 cases), posterolateral(2 cases) and Anterolateral(4 cases) types were treated with marsupialization via intranasal endoscopic approach, 4 of 8 cases which were located in anterolateral type were treated with Caldwell-Luc approach. There was no complication and showed improvement in all patients. CONCLUSION: We think that the classification methods of cyst was useful in deciding surgical approaches. The endoscopic intranasal marsupialization is an effective therapeutic method of POMC especially in medial and posterolateral types.
