A 50 year-old male with a history of chronic renal insufficiency and diabetes mellitus type 2 presented with swelling, redness and pain of the left eye for two days. He also started experiencing pain with the eye movement, itching and excessive lacrimation one day after the onset. Four hours prior to admission, he started having undocumented fever, bifrontal headaches, and blurred vision of the...

The present prospective study seeks to evaluate the incidence of tripod fracture, etiology and treatment options. All patients with faciomaxillary fractures following road traffic accidents admitted in the Deptt. Of otorhinolayngology, silchar medical college & hospital, Assam during the period of one year from Aug 2011 to Aug 2012, were scrutinized for tripod fracture, both clinically and radi...

Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws. They are more frequent in males and although most often affected teeth are maxillary canines and mandibular third molars, they may also be related with supernumerary or an ectopically erupted tooth. Our aim was to report the management of ectopic third molar tooth related with a dentigerous cyst in maxillary sinus...

INTRODUCTION The proximity of the roots to the maxillary sinus can create a variety of risks. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between the roots of healthy teeth and the maxillary sinus, as well as the occurrence of sinus pathologies. METHODS Three radiologists analyzed 109 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The Kappa test was used to assess the intra- and inter-rater agreem...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition. The most frequent symptoms and signs are headache, focal seizures with or without secondary generalization, unilateral or bilateral paresis and papilledema. We report a case of transverse sinus and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis that presented with diplopia in a pregnant woman. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old...

PURPOSE To evaluate the frequency, morphology, and locations of maxillary sinus septa using cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging of the entire maxillary sinus and to analyze factors influencing the presence or absence of septa. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT images of the maxilla taken during a 1-year study period (October 1, 2012, to September 30, 2013) were evaluated for the presence a...

This study measured maxillary sinus volume as an aid in determining the volume of graft bone needed before grafting autogenous bone to the maxillary sinus floor. Maxillary sinus volumes were measured from computerized tomographic images of 38 sinuses using a 3-dimensional reconstruction system. When the sinus-lift procedure was simulated, volumes (mean +/- SD) of the inferior portion of the sin...

Maxillary antrolith is a mineralized mass found very rarely in the maxillary sinus formed by exogenous or endogenous origin [1,2]. These mineralized bodies have been variously described as rhinoliths, antral rhinoliths, antral stones, antral calculi, antroliths, sinoliths, maxillary sinus stones and antrorhinoliths. The maxillary sinus is covered by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium...

An 18-year-old 454-kg (1,000-lb) American Quarter Horse gelding was evaluated because of chronic intermittent malodorous right-sided nasal discharge. Endoscopy revealed a mycotic plaque in the nasal cavity adjacent to the nasomaxillary opening of the right caudal maxillary sinus. The nasomaxillary opening appeared to be larger than normal. Fungal culture of specimens of the mycotic plaque yield...

Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. The isolated orbital fl oor fracture often called as blow out fracture is a common presentation following blunt trauma. The fl oor fractures may also occur in combination with zygomatic arch fractures, Le Fort II or III or with frac ture of other orbital bones. The cosmetic and functional problems can vi...
