“…Vitrectomy is a kind of high-level micro-ophthalmic surgery, which is difficult and time-consuming. A long operation time can easily induce a variety of complications, such as corneal edema, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal tear, with an incidence of more than 20% [ 9 ].…”

To explore the perioperative nursing methods and clinical effects of vitrectomy under ophthalmoscope in the treatment of severe ocular rupture, this study reviews the clinical effects of vitrectomy in the treatment of severe ocular trauma in China, analyzes the perioperative nursing of vitrectomy for ocular trauma under the guidance of an ophthalmoscope, and analyzes the importance of stage I debridement and suture, the choice of operation time, and the advantages of vitrectomy and perioperative nursing care. The retrospective analysis of these data shows that the clinical effect of peri-vitrectomy for ocular trauma under the guidance of an ophthalmoscope is accurate, and surgical treatment should be carried out as soon as possible according to the patient’s condition, which can reduce the complications of suppurative ophthalmitis, eyeball atrophy, and vitreous rebleeding. Perioperative nursing intervention is beneficial to the recovery of visual acuity in patients with severe ocular rupture treated by vitrectomy under the ophthalmoscope, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

“…Since teeth are radiopaque, plain radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and Water graphy have the capability to detect the ectopic ones. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CT scan are also accepted as imaging modalities for diagnosing ectopic teeth [15]. However, CT (CBCT or CT scan) remains the most accurate imaging modality, with an advantage of CBCT due to its lower dose when compared to the CT scan [16].…”

Around 10-20% of sinusitis have a dental etiology. Odontogenic sinusitis is generally caused by periodontitis, peri-implantitis, periapical pathology, or oroantral communication. Ectopic teeth are a rare cause of chronic odontogenic sinusitis. We present a rare case of chronic sinusitis caused by five ectopic teeth.A 39-year-old-female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of facial pain over the left cheek, ipsilateral nasal obstruction, ipsilateral rhinorrhea, and coughing over the last five years. Physical examination revealed a febrile patient. There was an ipsilateral purulent nasal discharge of yellow color. Inspection of the oral cavity revealed the absence of the following maxillary teeth: left first and second premolars, in addition to the left first, second, and third molars. There was also tenderness upon palpation of the left maxillary sinus. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the maxillary sinus revealed hyperdense structures in the left maxillary sinus surrounded by soft tissue, representing the missing premolar and molar teeth. The patient was treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate and corticosteroid, which partially relieved her symptoms.Our case presents an unusual case of chronic sinusitis that was found to be a consequence of five ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus. A careful physical examination and an appropriate imaging modality are indispensable for the diagnosis of such a rare phenomenon.

“…There is a higher prevalence of ectopic tooth eruption among third molars and canines since these teeth take longer to erupt [6]. The ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus may induce headache, nasal obstruction, fever, and secondary infection [7]. Although the cause is not clear, misplaced teeth may induce ROS production, which can lead to abnormal neutrophil recruitment [8].…”

This case series describes an alternative approach for removing ectopically erupted tooth in the maxillary sinus using an improved endoscopic approach known as modified endoscopic-assisted sinus surgery (MESS). We reviewed medical charts and radiographs of patients who underwent surgical removal of an ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus using MESS. The surgical technique consisted of creating a bony window in the maxillary sinus wall with a pre-adapted microplate, which was repositioned after the tooth was removed. For all the patients included in this study, there were no postoperative complications clinically and radiographically. At the time of microplate removal, satisfactory bone regeneration was observed around the bony window margins of the maxillary sinus wall. MESS is an effective technique that modifies and integrates the techniques of the conventional Caldwell-Luc procedure (CLP) and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and can be used to remove ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus by avoiding the risk of postoperative sinus-related complications.
