Summary
Congenital oral cystic lesions are rare in newborns. This case study shows an eruption cyst (EC) in a neonate managed successfully with observation, leading to normal tooth eruption without complications.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Pediatric dentistry
- Congenital anomalies
Background:
- Congenital pathologies manifest at birth.
- Oral cystic lesions are uncommon in neonates.
- Eruption cysts (ECs) are rare congenital oral lesions.
Observation:
- A case of congenital eruption cyst (EC) in a neonate is presented.
- The EC was located in the mucosa overlying unerupted primary central incisors.
- The lesion was managed conservatively through close monitoring.
Findings:
- The eruption cyst (EC) resolved spontaneously with tooth eruption at four months of age.
- No surgical intervention or tooth extraction was required.
- The infant and mother experienced no complications during this period.
Implications:
- Conservative management (observation) can be a successful approach for congenital eruption cysts (ECs).
- This approach avoids potential surgical risks and complications in neonates.
- Highlights the importance of monitoring rare congenital oral lesions for spontaneous resolution.

01:27Acne Infection
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
01:27Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
01:26Brain Abscess l: Introduction
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...
01:23Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...
