Dentigerous cysts in the craniomaxillofacial complex are a benign pathology commonly associated with ectopically placed teeth. Owing to slow and asymptomatic growth, they often attain considerable size before diagnosis that may compromise adjacent anatomical structures. Various techniques for removal of dentigerous cysts from the maxillary sinus have been described. This case report demonstrates a hybrid endoscopically assisted modification of the Caldwell-Luc approach to provide the technical advantages of both techniques.
颅颌面复合体中的含牙囊肿是一种常见的良性病变,通常与异位牙有关。由于其生长缓慢且无症状,它们在诊断前往往会长得很大,可能会损害相邻的解剖结构。已经描述了从上颌窦切除含牙囊肿的各种技术。本病例报告展示了一种经内镜辅助改良的Caldwell-Luc手术方法,以兼具两种技术的优势。
