Treatment of frontal sinus fractures depends on the structures involved: the anterior wall, the posterior wall and the nasofrontal duct. It may vary from the correction of the defect in the anterior wall to the cranialization with obliteration of the nasofrontal duct. The inversion of the frontal sinus's anterior wall to correct the defect in the fractured region is a good treatment option for sequelae, since this technique eliminates or reduces the use of biomaterial in the area, and allows direct assessment of the permeability of the nasofrontal duct. This work describes the technique of fractured segment inversion for the treatment of frontal sinus fracture sequelae in a motorcycle accident victim.
ResumoO tumor de Warthin é a segunda lesão mais comum da glândula parótida, sendo raro em qualquer outra glândula salivar. Possui comportamento benigno, com crescimento lento e indolor. Neste artigo é relatado um caso clínico onde o tumor apresentou evolução de um ano, sem sintomatologia associada, gerando assimetria facial ao paciente, sendo realizado tratamento cirúrgico conservador apenas por enucleação da lesão, visando reduzir cirurgias maiores como a parotidectomias parciais ou totais. Após acompanhamento de 5 anos o paciente não apresenta sequelas do tratamento cirúrgico ou sinal de recorrência da lesão. Descritores: Glândula Parótida; Neoplasia; Cirurgia Bucal.
AbstractWarthin's tumor is the second most common lesion of the parotid gland, being rare in any other salivary gland. It has benign behavior, with slow and painless growth. In this article a clinical case was reported where the tumor presented evolution of one year, with no associated symptomatology, generating facial asymmetry to the patient, being carried out conservative surgical treatment only by enucleating of the lesion, aiming to reduce major surgeries such as partial or total parotidectomy. After 5 years of follow-up, the patient did not present sequel of the surgical treatment or a sign of recurrence of the lesion. Descriptors: Parotid Gland; Neoplasm; Surgery, Oral.
