Radicular cysts (RCs) are the most common inflammatory jaw cystic lesions that occur infected and necrotic in teeth pulps. They account for more than 50% of all odontogenic cysts. Radicular cysts cause slowly progressive painless swelling. There are no symptoms until they become large. Enucleating the cyst is recommended with primary treatment. Here we describe a patient with a large RC with maxillary sinus involvement who underwent an endonasal endoscopic approach for complete resection. In conclusion, the endonasal endoscopic approach should be kept in mind for the resection of RC with maxillary sinus involvement because of its minimally invasive characteristics.
根端囊肿(RCs)是最常见的炎性颌骨囊性病变,发生于牙髓感染和坏死时。它们占所有牙源性囊肿的50%以上。根端囊肿会引起缓慢进展的无痛性肿胀。在囊肿变大之前没有症状。建议采用摘除囊肿作为主要治疗方法。在此,我们描述了一名患有累及上颌窦的巨大根端囊肿的患者,该患者接受了鼻内镜入路以进行完整切除。总之,由于其微创特性,在切除累及上颌窦的根端囊肿时应考虑采用鼻内镜入路。
