Surgical removal of unilateral maxillary sinus cysts in Holstein cattle led to rapid improvement in one case. This highlights effective treatment options for bovine sinus pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Maxillary sinus cysts are uncommon in adult cattle.
  • Clinical signs can include respiratory distress and facial swelling.

Observation:

  • Two Holstein cattle presented with unilateral maxillary sinus cysts.
  • Clinical signs included dyspnea, airway obstruction, facial swelling, and nonfetid mucoid nasal discharge.
  • Radiographic findings revealed soft-tissue opacity and fluid lines within the affected sinus.

Findings:

  • Cyst fluid was acellular, mucoid or gelatinous, and odorless.
  • Surgical intervention involved cyst removal via a bone flap or curettage through a trephine hole.
  • Histopathology showed cyst walls composed of granulation tissue lined with stratified squamous epithelium.

Implications:

  • Surgical management can be effective for treating maxillary sinus cysts in cattle.
  • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Further research into the etiology and pathogenesis of these cysts is warranted.
