Cranial Bones: Lateral View

2.9K
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:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is an aggressive cystic lesion of the jaw.
  • Maxillary OKC is exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 1% of all OKC cases.
  • Ectopic teeth can be associated with various odontogenic pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old female presented with maxillary pain and mobile molars.
  • Imaging revealed a maxillary OKC and an ectopic tooth within the osteomeatal complex.
  • Endoscopic surgery was performed for removal of the OKC and ectopic tooth.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a maxillary Odontogenic Keratocyst.
  • Two teeth were identified within the maxillary sinus during the procedure.
  • Post-operative surveillance at 6 months showed no signs of recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the rarity and aggressive nature of maxillary OKCs.
  • Endoscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach for treating complex maxillary cystic lesions.
  • Early diagnosis and complete surgical removal are crucial for preventing recurrence of OKCs.
