OBJECTIVE
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.
目的
介绍一种此前未报道过的额窦黏液囊肿病因。
病例报告
一名患者患有额窦黏液囊肿和上颌窦炎。计算机断层扫描显示一颗异位上颌牙是其体征和症状的病因。通过柯-陆氏手术拔除该牙齿有助于黏液囊肿的消退。文中还考虑了通过鼻内镜鼻窦手术对黏液囊肿进行常规治疗以及异位牙的其他鼻科后遗症。
结论
这是首例有记录的异位牙导致额窦黏液囊肿的病例，并证明了拔除牙齿后患者症状得到有效缓解。
