Intranasal ectopic teeth are rare and ectopic eruption of teeth can occur in a variety of locations. Commonly seen in the palate and maxillary sinus, they have also been reported in the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, orbital and nasal cavities, and through the skin. With the advent of sinonasal endoscopy in the mid 1980s, and subsequent advances in surgical techniques, endoscopic management of intranasal lesions has become possible. In the current case study, we report a successful endoscopic removal of intranasal ectopic teeth located in the nasal cavity. The endoscopic surgical approach used in this case caused less morbidity than do the more common methods of removing an intranasal ectopic tooth.
鼻内异位牙较为罕见，牙齿的异位萌出可发生于多种部位。常见于腭部和上颌窦，也有在下颌髁突、冠状突、眼眶和鼻腔，甚至通过皮肤出现的报道。随着20世纪80年代中期鼻内镜技术的出现以及后续手术技术的进步，鼻内病变的内镜治疗成为可能。在本病例研究中，我们报告了一例成功通过内镜切除位于鼻腔内的异位牙的病例。该病例所采用的内镜手术方法相比更常见的鼻内异位牙拔除方法，造成的发病率更低。
