Role of Endoscope-assisted Powered Instrumentation in Management of Thornwaldt’s Cyst: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thornwaldt’s cyst occurs in the midline of the nasopharynx (space behind nasal cavity).Although it is relatively uncommon and majority are asymptomatic, it may cause significant symptoms. We present a case of young male who presented with history of snoring, stuffy nose and unusual heaviness in head. He had a history of irregular clinician consultation due to transferable nature of his job. On detailed history and work-up, he was found to have symptomatic Thornwaldt’s cyst with chronic pansinusitis. This case report highlights the importance of endoscope-assisted powered instrumentation; ie. microdebrider assisted surgery (MAS) under endoscopic guidance in management of the case.
