Ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus are a rare finding and pose a diagnostic challenge due to their unusual location and clinical management. A 28-year-old man presented with complaints of discomfort and pressure in the maxillary sinus region. A CT scan and cinematic rendering revealed the presence of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus bilaterally. The use of cinematic rendering provided a more detailed and accurate visualization of the ectopic teeth and surrounding anatomical structures. A CT scan is the primary imaging modality used for the diagnosis and visualization of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus. In addition, the use of cinematic rendering can improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the need for further imaging studies. The use of CT and cinematic rendering can help in the diagnosis and visualization of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus, aiding in the planning of surgical interventions.
上颌窦异位牙是一种罕见的发现,因其位置异常和临床处理方式而带来诊断挑战。一名28岁男性因上颌窦区域不适和压迫感前来就诊。CT扫描和动态成像显示双侧上颌窦存在异位牙。动态成像的使用为异位牙及周围解剖结构提供了更详细、准确的可视化。CT扫描是用于诊断和观察上颌窦异位牙的主要影像学检查方法。此外,动态成像的使用可提高诊断准确性并减少进一步影像学检查的需求。CT和动态成像的应用有助于上颌窦异位牙的诊断和观察,辅助手术干预的规划。
