“…Panoramic and Waters' radiographs are of value in the detection of maxillary sinus diseases;15,16,17 however, CT is superior to plain films18 and improves the ability to evaluate postoperative maxillary cysts 9. Therefore, although periodic plain radiographic follow-up is required for patients who have undergone orthognathic surgery, these patients may also need to undergo CT depending on the circumstances, for finding the location, size, and extent of the lesions and making an accurate diagnosis.…”

Postoperative maxillary cysts are locally aggressive lesions, usually developing as delayed complications many years after radical antral surgery. This report describes a case of bilateral postoperative maxillary cysts following orthognathic surgery performed approximately 21 years previously. The patient complained of stinging pain on her right cheek. Radiographic examination revealed low-attenuation lesions on both maxillary sinuses with discontinuously corticated margins without distinct expansion or bone destruction. The cysts were enucleated with the removal of metal plates and screws for pain relief. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of postoperative maxillary cysts lined by ciliated, pseudostratified columnar cells. The patient has remained asymptomatic thus far, and there was no evidence of local recurrence at 21 months of postoperative follow-up.

RESUMOEste estudo pretende realizar uma revisão de literatura a respeito da utilização da técnica radiográfica panorâmica em odontopediatria, abordando suas indicações, vantagens e limitações. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura abordando a utilização da radiografia panorâmica dentro da clínica infantil. Por ser uma técnica extrabucal é melhor aceita pela criança e sua utilização deve estar associada à necessidade de se obter um número maior de informações da região maxilo-mandibular, para auxílio ao diagnóstico e avaliações do crescimento e do desenvolvimento dentário, falhas na erupção, condições patológicas extensas, dentre outras. Além de requerer um tempo mais curto para sua obtenção, é de baixo custo para o paciente e utiliza menor dose de radiação quando comparada ao levantamento radiográfico completo. Entretanto, deve ser complementada quando houver necessidade de maior detalhe e nitidez. PALAVRAS-CHAVES:Radiografia panorâmica. Diagnóstico. Odontopediatria.

“…Panoramic and Waters' radiographs are generally used for evaluation of maxillary sinus disease. However, each view has its own limitations due to superimposition of anatomic structures 4,5. CT is the main imaging modality for bony analysis; therefore, CT has become a necessary method for complete evaluation of POMC 6.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) diagnosis by panoramic radiographs versus computed tomography (CT) and by oral and maxillofacial radiologists versus non-specialists.Materials and MethodsSixty-five maxillary sinuses with POMCs and 63 without any lesion were assessed using panoramic radiographs and CT images by five oral and maxillofacial radiologists and five non-specialists on a five-point scale. The areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed to determine the differences in diagnostic accuracy between the two imaging modalities and between the two groups of observers. The intra-observer agreement was determined, too.ResultsThe diagnostic accuracy of CT images was higher than that of panoramic radiographs in both groups of observers (p<0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of oral and maxillofacial radiologists for each method was higher than that of non-specialists (p<0.05).ConclusionThe use of CT improves the diagnosis of POMC, and radiological training and experience leads to more accurate evaluation.
