[Symptoms and signs of maxillary cysts]
Abstract:
The objective of the present investigation was to reveal clinical symptoms significantly associated with the cysts in the maxillary sinuses (MS). The study included 67 consecutive patients with the roentgenologically confirmed diagnosis of maxillary cysts in the absence of concomitant pathological changes in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Each patient was interviewed twice: first time before surgery when they were asked to fill a questionnaire and specify the disturbing symptoms, the second time postoperatively, i.e. during the follow-up examination within 4-6 months after the treatment. The statistical analysis demonstrated that MS cysts may be a cause of such symptoms as headache in the frontal region, feeling of pressure in the affected sinus, mucous rhinorrhoea, nasal obstruction, and probably coughing in the morning hours as a manifestation of postnasal drip syndrome.
