Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Developmental Biology
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • Congenital lip sinuses result from incomplete union during embryonic development.
  • Upper lip sinuses are exceptionally rare, with lower lip sinuses estimated at 0.00001% prevalence.
  • These anomalies can occur in isolation or be associated with syndromes like Von der Woude syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a rare case of a midline congenital upper lip sinus.
  • To describe the successful surgical management of this condition.
  • To contribute to the limited literature on upper lip sinuses, particularly in India.

Main Methods:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with intermittent upper lip swelling.
  • Clinical examination identified a midline congenital upper lip sinus without intra-oral communication.
  • The sinus was treated via surgical excision.

Main Results:

  • Successful surgical excision of the congenital midline upper lip sinus was achieved.
  • The patient's intermittent swelling resolved post-operatively.
  • This case adds to the scarce reports of upper lip sinuses globally and in India.

Conclusions:

  • Congenital midline upper lip sinus is a rare condition requiring careful diagnosis.
  • Surgical excision is an effective management strategy for this anomaly.
  • Further case reports are valuable for understanding the prevalence and treatment of upper lip sinuses.
