“…CT is especially useful for the localization of ectopic teeth (4). CT is necessary and more valuable than plain film radiographs not only for definitive diagnosis, but also for evaluation of the associated pathoses, exact localization of the ectopic tooth and proper treatment planning (4,20).…”

A dentigerous cyst containing an ectopic canine tooth below the floor of the maxillary sinus: a case report

Ectopic eruption into the dental environment is common, whereas eruption into other sites is rare. Diverse anatomical locations such as the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption. One of the nondental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopic maxillary canine tooth located below the floor of the right maxillary sinus in a 37-year-old man. (J. Oral Sci. 49, [249][250][251][252] 2007)

“…But, the view could be ineffective to reveal the degree of chronic inflammatory diseases especially for ethmoid sinuses [6]. Yet some findings such as opacification of the sphenoid sinus in mucocele, the radiographic identification is usually possible [7]. Such inconstancies emphasize the need for more detailed tomography [5][6][7].…”

Paranasal Sinuses

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Paranasal sinuses located in the bones surrounding the nasal cavity are called maxillary, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid sinuses. In relation with their location, these sinuses contribute to the development of the facial structures, jaws and upper airway. During the developmental process of the paranasal sinuses, anatomic variations can occur in consequence of intra and extramural migration of the ethmoid air cells, overpneumatization or hypoplasia of the sinuses and bulging of the neurovascular structures to the sinuses. Some of these anatomic variations may affect the drainage pathways, pave the way for chronic infections and cause difficulties when performing paranasal sinuses surgery.Therefore, the aim of this chapter was to examine the paranasal sinus anatomic variations with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

“…In definitive, this and other studies show that the diagnostic performances of Waters' projection are able to maintain a role for radiography in the diagnosis. On the other hand, magnetic resonance imaging provides data in three dimensions, offering very valuable information in doubtful cases, being especially useful for viewing ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Abstract:Here, we present a review of the development of paranasal sinuses and pathologies associated to them, allergic and/or infectious sinusitis, in children. A review of 200 medical records of children and adolescents affected with respiratory disease is carried out. 66 patients (33%) were diagnosed with sinusitis, six of which did not present any other respiratory processes. Of the remainder, association with rhinitis, asthma, or wheezy bronchitis, and one case with immune deficiency, was found. Other associated pathologies, such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and other processes described as associated with sinusitis, were not detected in any case.
